Constipation can be extremely uncomfortable and is a common condition that affects our bowel movements. On its own constipation is not a disease it is a symptom of certain causes. Usually, this is a short-term condition, but for some, it is long-term and even chronic for others.

Marijuana can be a laxative at the same time as relieving pain and discomfort. A hit of THC can relax your digestive system.

For those that consume over 100mg of CBD in their prescription, they may experience a change in their bowel movement. This is usually short-lived, andthe body will adjust in a few days.
