Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Medical Marijuana in Florida
A Soothing Option for Crohn’s and Colitis Relief
Inflammatory Bowel Disease —including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis—causes chronic pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and poor nutrient absorption. Flares can be severe and life-altering.

How Medical Marijuana Helps with IBD
Cannabis may reduce inflammation in the digestive tract, ease abdominal pain, regulate gut motility, and support appetite. Both THC and CBD have shown benefits in calming the immune system and improving quality of life in patients with IBD.
Many patients use cannabis alongside their prescriptions to manage flares and maintain balance.

Yes. IBD and its symptoms are recognized under Florida’s medical marijuana statute. At MedLeaf Clinic, we help patients with diagnosed IBD gain access to treatment that supports daily comfort.
