Autoimmune Disorders

Cannabis has exhibited potential benefits in managing symptoms associated with autoimmune disorders due to its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to modulate the immune response. Compounds like cannabidiol (CBD), and THC found in cannabis interact with the endocannabinoid system, which plays a crucial role in regulating immune function. Research suggests that CBD and THC may help alleviate inflammation by reducing the production of inflammatory cytokines. This property is particularly relevant to autoimmune disorders, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's tissues. Additionally, some studies indicate that cannabis compounds could potentially suppress an overactive immune response, which is often seen in autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis.
