    Information, studies and articles about MM

    I thought it would be good to have a thread where links to empirical info on how and why MM works for Crohn's, colitis and IBD was put together in one place. If this works out maybe it could be made into a sticky. Here' a link to start it off: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2931570/...

    OK, so the bottle says 30ml,and 500mg total in the bottle, why not try getting a medicine syringe and giving say, 5ml per dose. That'd be about 90 mg of CBD/dose. And it'd save you the hassle of putting oil in capsules. You could try that and see if there's any improvement. Good luck! Pete.

    As someone who's having their own fight with bureaucratic bullsh*t about MM, I feel for ya bud, but what I want to talk about is dosage. How many caps a day is she taking? You show a pic of a #3 gel cap, that's only 0.5 ml! (I had some kicking around so I measured.) At 500mg/ bottle and 30 ml of...

    Unfortunately, in the state where taboohope (very appropriate name given your situation) lives it's oil or nothing. Still that's very good info, can you give me a link to where you got it? I'm trying to educate myself. Don't want to hijack the thread, just curious. I notice the bottle says 500...

    I searched and found this, https://www.georgiacannabis.org/obtain-medical-marijuana/. Wow,Georgia's laws are pretty harsh. Good news is that you CAN legally obtain MM in your state, but only as oil. It can contain no more than 5% THC, and you have to obtain it from another state where it's...

    It's medicene?

    update; For the last month I've taking 16mg of THC, 160mg CBD a day. It doesn't work as good at settling my gut, but still helps with the pain and fatigue, and it doesn't get me high. I'd like to take a higher dose of THC in the evening for pain and to help me sleep better but there's no way I...

    How do you deal with employment drug testing?

    Yes, same problems similar results. It depends on so many factors, like what % CBD and THC, how much are you using, how you take it and what kind of test. For instance if you're ingesting the THC metabolites will stay in your system much longer than if your smoking or vaping. I'm going to...

    Dosages

    I take anywhere between 80- 160mg CBD and 8-16mg THC per day. I buy from a licenced grower, so it's always consistent. the oil I use is 20% CBD, 2% THC.

    Help - oils & capsules

    yes ,,actually doesn't have to be under the tongue, I just "shoot and swallow". Tastes like sunflower seed oil with a slight "grassy" taste. Not unpleasant at all. Do you know what you're getting as far as CBD/THC content? It seems that some THC is necessary to make the CBD work better...

    Help - oils & capsules

    If you're supply comes from a gov. licensed grower it'll probably have the THC/CBD ratios listed on the container. should say X mg of CBD/ml, same with THC If it comes from an underground dispensary it probably won't. This goes for oils or plant material. Witch makes it hard to figure what...

    What is most important in cannabis for crohn's? THC or CBD?

    I guess I should answer the question instead of asking one. start with a balanced ratio and adjust as necessary. For me, during the day the higher the CBD the better, with low to moderate THC. At night I sometimes use a high THC sativa oil to help me sleep, and it's great for pain. I don't use...

    It's medicene?

    That's good advice, thanks Beach. I'm starting a diet/med/symptom log as of today. Glad to hear diet change is helping for you, and curious as to how you did it. Testing or eliminating then adding foods slowly? Any meds? This is what I'm doing: -no wheat -up to 1gr. (8ml) of 10% THC, 17%...

    What is most important in cannabis for crohn's? THC or CBD?

    Thanks for the link, MmeMagpie. I like how they list the THC/CBD ratios. I'm using an oil that's 10% THC, 17% CBD, and I'm wondering if a lower THC content would work. And if I went with 2% or less THC would it still be effective, and would I be able to pass a drug test. (15 nannograms/ ml) ?
