Cannabis is seen as a cure-all, natural treatment for a variety of medical conditions. It can stop the pain, ease stress and anxiety and can block the symptoms of neurologic aging. You can find patients looking for relief in medical marijuana. This is why more and more countries and states are starting to change their opinion on medical cannabis use. But do you use indica or sativa for IBS?
One of the most common uses of cannabis is IBS or irritable bowel syndrome. Find out why marijuana is used for this condition and what particular cannabis strains are best for quick IBS relief in this informative post.
Irritable bowel syndrome is not just one illness or disease is a collection of symptoms that bring about very uncomfortable conditions which can be felt in the abdominal area. This condition results in the inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.
Mostly, IBS symptoms intensify over many years. IBS is hard to diagnose because its symptoms may be similar to the symptoms of other digestive tract conditions. And when a diagnosis is concerned, there is no specific lab test which can conclude that you have IBS. Usually, the diagnosis of IBS includes ruling out of different conditions including parasitic infections, bacterial growth in the gastrointestinal tract and lactose intolerance which have symptoms similar to IBS.
IBS symptoms are characterized by pain located in the abdominal region. The pain may be on and off and may be described as “strange” pains and stomach cramps. A patient may also experience nausea, diarrhea, and constipation, bloating, food intolerances, weight loss or weight gain, irregular bowel movements and many more. Also, regular gut conditions may lead to other disturbing conditions like anxiety, depression, migraines, sleeping problems, and fatigue.
The main cause of IBS is still unknown but experts believe that IBS is a “gut-brain axis” condition. Although very distant from each other, the brain and the gut are much more connected than we may think. Consider that stress or anxiety can trigger gastrointestinal symptoms in some people.
In IBS patients, stress response leads to changes in the function of the sympathetic nervous system and the HPA axis. This is a term that describes the connection and feedbacks between the parts of the brain namely the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal glands.
These areas of the brain control a number of processes, including reactions to stress, digestion, immune system functions, sexuality, and more. Still, other possible causes of IBS may be gastroenteritis infections, vitamin D deficiency, and the presence of some bacteria and fungi in the gut. Consider that the risk of developing IBS may increase after infection for 10%.
Due to the discovery of how the endocannabinoid system works, specialists have considered the human biochemistry from a different angle. The ECS is important in the balance of all other systems of our body and this includes the gastrointestinal tract. This is why activating the endocannabinoid system can help with the reduction of IBS issues.
Endocannabinoid receptors are in every part of the body: the brain, spinal cord and also in the digestive system. The reason for this is that the body produces endocannabinoid or internal cannabinoid-like compounds which bind to the cellular endocannabinoid receptors.
If the body does not produce the ideal amounts of endocannabinoids, the body enters a state of imbalance. To augment this condition compounds coming from cannabis may bind to these receptors just like natural endocannabinoids would.
One of the most famous researchers who support the use of cannabis is Dr. Ethan B. Russo. He was the first to discover a connection between the deficiency of endocannabinoid compounds and the symptoms of IBS. Doctor Russo states that people with IBS create insufficient amounts of endocannabinoids which leads to a domino-fall-like effect on the other processes in the body, one of these is the gastrointestinal system.
This is the reason why cannabis is seen as a treatment for IBS. The natural cannabinoids from the plant may be used to replace the natural endocannabinoids that the body lacks. When the endocannabinoid is triggered, the cells the GI tract change improve their function and this results in a better, healthier and more balanced digestive tract.
Very recently, a number of studies have been made in the potential use of cannabis in the treatment of IBS. First is the study of IBS as an inflammatory condition and the positive use of CBD because of its anti-inflammatory effects.
Another study focused on how cannabis can deal with pain. Cannabis has natural analgesic and anxiolytic properties. Both these impressive qualities are needed to treat mild to excruciating pain associated with IBS.
Another study made in 2004 focused on cannabinoids as a treatment for the management of bowel diseases symptoms which includes conditions like IBS. Because cannabis has natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, this can also reduce pain levels. The study has revealed that there are possible benefits of cannabis in stimulating endocannabinoid receptors.
Still, another in-depth study in 2012 showed more potential results. In a three-month period, 13 patients with chronic IBS symptoms were given cannabis as a treatment. After the treatment of three months expired, all patients had an improvement in their quality of life, with positive effects on overall health, social functioning, pain, and depression.
There was another study that had positive results and it focused the effects of CBD to IBS. Experts found this study very promising especially to people who are suffering from chronic IBS symptoms. They can get relief from IBS symptoms without experiencing the psychotropic effects of THC.
Further cannabis research is expected regarding this topic. It will take more studies and clinical trials to completely understand how cannabis helps with the relief of IBS symptoms.
There are several studies regarding the effects of cannabis and IBS and these studies used different kinds of strains including THC and high-CBD strains and sativa and indica strains. They have found that THC and CBD and Indica and sativa strains have the power to relieve symptoms.
Using cannabis strains with a 1:1 ratio of THC to CBD is the best way to deal with IBS symptoms and other conditions. These strains will treat symptoms and at the same time will reduce any unwanted psychoactive effects.
Consider that the effects of cannabis are subjective therefore you will need to establish two things. First, you need to experiment with different strains to find the best one that will reduce your symptoms. Check out online tools and sites that can help you find the best medical strains that are currently sold in your country or state.

Here are some important things to remember when consuming medical cannabis. Always consult a cannabis-friendly doctor about your IBS or suspected IBS condition. Never use medical sativa or indica strains to be able to relieve symptoms of IBS.
Your doctor will likely give you tests to rule out other conditions which may be similar to IBS so be ready for this. Also, your doctor will take your medical history including treatments and medications that you have taken so far.
If you are thinking of using cannabis for IBS, tell this to your doctor. If he does not recommend cannabis, he may recommend you to a cannabis friendly-doctor. Always follow your doctor’s prescription to the T.
Your doctor may prescribe indica or sativa strains depending on his assessment of your condition. Keep in mind that this is what your doctor thinks that will benefit your IBS symptoms. If taking the strain in the prescribed dose leads to side effects, consult your doctor. Reduce your dose until you find a tolerable dose that you can use daily.
For any allergies, discontinue the strain and immediately report this to your doctor. Remember, never change your dose or discontinue your medication without consulting your doctor. This can cause terrible effects which may only make your present condition worse.
Choose the best mode of consumption of cannabis for IBS. You might want to smoke medical cannabis or use a mild edible instead. Remember, this is completely up to you. Consider that taking oral cannabis can worsen your IBS symptoms especially pain, bloating and gastric irritation. And if you can’t tolerate smoking, you may settle with using oils or tinctures instead.
As much as possible, consume recreational weed only in your home, in a friend’s home or a safe and familiar environment. Never consume cannabis in a party or any social event especially a new strain. If side effects happen, you might not be able to control the effects of the new strain. You might end up dealing with overwhelming anxiety and stress.
Couch-effects are common for sativa strains and high THC strains so use these cautiously. In case you feel a couch-locked effect, relax. Worrying can only make the symptoms worse. Experts who use cannabis and have experienced side effects recommend that you ride the effects. You may engage in creative tasks, exercise, clean your home, do gardening, ride a bike, communicate with people and other worthwhile activities. This is your chance to get things done!
Meanwhile, recreational cannabis varies in effects as well as side effects so be sure to make recommendations and talk to people who have consumed the strain before. Consider preparing snacks and drinks because some recreational cannabis strains cause the munchies.
Just like other psychoactive drugs, consider taking cannabis only when there’s little or no work to be done the next day so you can sleep before you return to work.
When you are diagnosed with IBS, you need to control your symptoms and avoid attacks as much as possible. Increase physical activity to enhance gastrointestinal contractions. Increased activity can also help deal with constipation.
Don’t forget to eat or consume your meals at regular intervals. When you eat the same time every day, you will be able to regulate your bowel movements better. A food journal is another good thing to start. This will help identify any trigger foods and to better avoid them.
Increase fiber intake and drink more water. You cannot afford to suffer from constipation because this can worsen IBS symptoms.
And aside from using cannabis, you may try other pain-relief techniques like warm compresses, exercise, massage therapy, and aromatherapy. Taking synthetic drugs should be your last resort.
Always purchase only from reputable dispensaries online or offline. If you have questions regarding the strain you are buying or to get recommendations, consult a budtender. If you are thinking of growing your marijuana at home, consider buying high-quality seeds for your garden.
Consuming cannabis is one thing, growing is another. If you can grow in your home, do so inside to protect your crops and to improve your plant’s chances of survival. Remember, you are growing medical cannabis seeds so you need to be meticulously clean and sterile.
Growing requires the best seeds and at the same time the best soil, right temperature and humidity levels inside your growing area. You must also think about nutrition, supplements, lighting, and watering your plants.
Consider the characteristic traits of your plants including the right growing environment for your plants to grow. It would be best to read growing guides and bibles and take tips from experts who have grown these strains.
Important things to consider before consuming, growing and carrying cannabis:
Always take note of the special rules regarding cannabis use, possession and growing in your area. Use recreational strains inside your home or in designated areas in your community or state. Some states allow smoking cannabis in hotels, restaurants and community centers so you better check the rules.
Even if recreational cannabis is legal in your area you should still be aware of the rules. There are rules regarding possession, use and growing in most areas with legal cannabis. If you’re not aware of this, check out local websites for information about cannabis laws.
