Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
Hello OldCrone, To remove the taste of tinctures, you can infuse it into honey or agave. You can let it simmer in a pot for a couple of hours. Alternatively a coffee mug placed on one of those warmer, left overnight, will work just as well. Once the transfer is done you can use the honey in... -
Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
I understand you want to avoid pharmaceuticals at all cost but you won't be able to study for the Bar if you're in pain, possibly anemic and sleep deprived. Not to mention the stress of having to deal with all of this is not helping the studying nor the colitis. In that regard time is of the... -

Ok, first things first. Partying is completely over if it ain't already. No alcohol, no caffeine, no acid drinks and no sodas. I'd also avoid fibrous food (wholegrain bread), uncooked veggies and greasy/fried food. Secondly, in aggressive flares like this, I suggest adopting a liquid diet for... -

As I understand it, the tolerance build up is to the psychoactivity -- that is, the cannabinoids' ability to alter our consciousness. The anti-inflammatory properties are preserved. I could be wrong, I haven't read much about tolerance in the literature. You could ask your doc for his source... -
Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
There is no doubt that potent strains, especially indicas, would knock you out if you never had cannabis before. An easy solution is to take it an hour before bed, and to sleep through the "high" period. After a week of doing this your tolerance to the psychoactivity will have ramped up... -

You can go as high as 200-220 to make sure you "got it all" but 180 is a good target. -

How long has it been since you started? It will take more than a few days. You'd probably do better with a high THC strain if you're flaring right now. 6% is low. If you are in Colorodo you must have access to edibles? Smoking is the absolute worse delivery method, not to mention you can end... -

Associated, but never clearly established. If you go over the literature on cannabis from the past 20 years, you can find cannabis associated with just about every condition. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3739469/ In cross sectional studies, yes. But if you actually read those... -

You'll be happy to know Crohnsforum doesn't cater to myths and legends, thank god :D I have done a lot of research indeed which is why I am surprised at some of this. There is quite a bit of reputable literature on the topic. It's been studied extensively in controlled settings in Europe... -

He sounds like a real gem. That explains why the ex, is ex. :eek: So you vaporize the leaves and such? You dry them and grind them first? The leaves and stems contain some CBD but very little THC. Your boyfriend used the butter to make edibles and get high? How do you prevent cross... -
Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
The cannabinoid content of the leaves or stalk in the vegetative state is somewhere around 1-2%. To get big enough doses of cannabinoids to have an effect on a colitis, you'd have to vaporize an entire plant each day. Minimum. Your ex must have had a huge garden with dozens of tall immature... -

The quality of cannabis grown indoors will always be better than cannabis grown outside if the grower is experienced or knows what he is doing. There are many dispensaries that do not even accept cannabis grown outdoors in their inventory. The reason is simple: indoors, you have total control... -
Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
There's really no harm in recycling your vaped cannabis in your RSO/cannabutter/tincture preparation. You may recuperate some CBD at the very least. What I usually do is simply add the vaped leftovers on top of whatever fresh herbs I usually add. So if my recipe requires 8g, I'll still put in... -

RSO. The fats in coconut oil are healthier than butter and bio availability is higher. Alcohol based tinctures are also really good but the alcohol you need is expensive in Canada (Global 94% costs $65 for the 38oz bottle). Oil is so much cheaper.
