Transplant Among Cannabis Users
Cannabis is well established as a medicine (as it has been for millennia) and should not prevent patients from receiving a necessary transplant.
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common – and potentially fatal – complication following bone marrow and solid organ transplants. This life threatening condition can also occur after a patient receives a blood transfusion or other forms of transplanted tissue from a genetically different person.
In compiling a list of conditions that CBD may help, we examined hundreds of peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals.
