    Vaporizers!

    That's awesome. I'm excited for the pictures! I'll be looking into this Arizer Solo for my next vaporizer.

    Vaporizers!

    I miss using a bong too! I had a really cool HUGE purple one with a duochromatic finish. It would change colors from purple to green :biggrin: Smoke is just too harsh for me nowadays.

    How often do you use medical mj?

    Right now I'm not working and just going to school so I mostly use it on the weekends and it's good enough to hold me over most of the week. I haven't found that it affects my memory as far as school goes but I realize everyone is different. If you are worried about it interfering with things...

    Vaporizers!

    That sounds good. I'd like to move away from metal heating elements. Being able to further filter through water is cool too.

    Vaporizers!

    The only vaporizers I have used is Volcano and the Magic Flight Launch Box. The Volcano is the first one I've ever used and the vapors are definitely better than from the MFLB but I don't have anything else to compare it to. I'd like to try a whip system someday. Maybe later on when I can save...

    Your favorite edibles? Share your recipe!

    I'd like to try to do the fat extraction method. I tried it with vaped remains once and I don't think it worked out very well. I put the oil in capsules and they did not work for me at all :( I'm pretty sure I did something wrong. I think maybe the oil got too hot or I should have used fresh...

    Your favorite edibles? Share your recipe!

    My recipe is really simple. It doesn't involve extracting into a fat but it works for me. So, I use a vaporizer. I keep a coffee grinder specifically for my MJ and grind it up really fine and only vape it until it turns a golden color. I have a container I save my vaped remains in and I use...

    Starting LDN!

    I think that because it takes a while to kick in, you'd want to have any inflammation under control as much as possible before starting. I'm not sure what my CRP was prior to starting but it was probably within normal ranges. I was generally feeling fine when I started LDN. I didn't have a...

    Suggestions for starting...and not losing sleep?

    Good that you are starting it on the weekend. When I started, the first couple of nights the sleep was not happening very well so I was glad that I got over it mostly on a weekend instead of struggling throughout the week. I was also going to suggest melatonin. You don't HAVE to take LDN at...

    Lemons

    Yeah I've just been throwin the whole lemon in there. I think it tastes a bit like a lemon starburst when I leave the skin on it :biggrin:

    Marijuana and Imuran

    There are a lot of people on this site that use or have used cannabis regularly to help their disease. You should be supportive and not derogatory. I just ask that people not call crohn's patients that use cannabis "stoners" or otherwise imply that we are criminals. We are all on the same team...

    Marijuana and Imuran

    I seriously doubt the liver failure was caused by cannabis. It is, however, a known side effect of Imuran.

    I never shared my story.

    Jilly, Thank you! If you have access to cannabis, you should definitely try it out. It really turns things around for me. I am still taking Pentasa but now I've added LDN and some other supplements.

    Low-Dose Naltrexone, an Extraordinary Therapy

    superzeeman, I initially obtained it from calling a local compounding pharmacy and asking if any doctors in the area were prescribing. I got the names of two local doctors (DO) and made appointments with both. I ended up getting a Rx from the first doctor. However, I had my Rx filled at Skip's...

    Low-Dose Naltrexone, an Extraordinary Therapy

    superzeeman, Any doctor can prescribe LDN. Some people just have better luck getting it from doctors other than GI's. My guess would be because the average GI goes by a strict "standard of care" and may perhaps not want to take a chance giving a patient a medication they know nothing about...

    Thank you! I'm really glad you could relate. Don't be afraid to tell your story! Just do it :) I'm glad I finally got all that out there. :rosette1:

    I never shared my story.

    Hello :smile: My name is Natalie. I never consistently used the bathroom as a kid. I remember in the 4th grade being frustrated in the bathroom at recess because I couldn't poo. I was always constipated. In the summer before 7th grade, I started having diarrhea. I felt really anxious at the...
