2. Relieve Arthritis<\/strong><\/p>\nIn 2011, researchers reported that cannabis reduces pain and inflammation, and promotes sleep, which may help relieve pain and discomfort for people with rheumatoid arthritis.<\/p>\n
Researchers of the rheumatology units at several hospitals gave their patients Sativex, a cannabinoid-based pain-relieving medicine. After two weeks, patients on Sativex had a significant reduction in pain and improved better sleep quality compared to placebo users.<\/p>\n
3. Help with Crohn\u2019s disease<\/strong><\/p>\nCannabis may be helpful with curing Crohn\u2019s disease. Crohn\u2019s disease is an inflammatory bowel disorder that causes pain, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and more.<\/p>\n
But a recent study in Israel showed that smoking a joint considerably reduced Crohn\u2019s disease symptoms in 10 out of 11 patients, and caused a complete cancellation of the disease in five of those patients.<\/p>\n

Beware, though, higher doses may increase anxiety and make you paranoid.<\/p>\n
