UC is part of a group of conditions called Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD). UC causes lining of the colon (the large intestine) to become inflamed and develop sores (ulcers), leading to bleeding and diarrhea.
Although ulcerative colitis cannot be cured without removing the colon, it can usually be controlled. Medical marijuana can help ease some of the symptoms associated with this disease.
