Marijuana as an Intestinal Anti-inflammatory
-
In my experiences with Marijuana the major appeal I encountered was that I could finally feel like I had some peace with my thoughts. While of course it made me "slower" this would still be a more "lucid" state with decreased brain fog. Since the state of the gut is perhaps the most important factor for cognition I wonder if cannabinoids are known to have an effect on the gut itself.
In college the many people I met mostly using the drug seemed to have something off about them--inflammatory conditions I suspect--while drinkers seemed healthier.
Does anyone know anything in the literature that could back up my instinct, or does anyone have similar experiences?
