Constipation

Constipation of intestinal reflexes may be alleviated by the anti-emetic properties of cannabis and synthetic THC tablets. Relief of constipation was one of the original cannabis indications cited by Shen-Nung five thousand years ago. Virtually every historical medical reference since that time has included similar observations. In comparison, opiate narcotics commonly cause very severe constipation in continued use.
