    Smoking dosage?

    It really depends on you, as marijuana effects everyone differently. I smoke about 0.1-0.4g per sitting, once every couple hours when I'm not working, but I have a high tolerance due to being a heavy smoker. Smoke til it feels good. Once you start to come down, smoke some more if you feel the...

    Stomach pains dissipate when smoking marijuana

    It's not a noob question at all. Medical marijuana is just recently making it into the spotlight so a lot if people don't know much about it. I feel it helps with my inflammation as well as pain, but that's speaking from experience. It also helps me stay off the toilet for longer periods of...

    Lack of studies for MM. Why?

    I wouldn't be so sure. There is a lack of studies in North America due to its previous legal status. Recently, studies have shown cannabinoids to have an impact on the immune system, although details are vague right now. Some cannabinoids can also act as rather effective anti-inflammatories...

    My experience so far with Bedrocan

    I haven't tried Bedrolite as I go for higher THC strains. LP's are not required to irradiate. Tweed does not irradiate most of their product while Bedrocan does (which strains are irradiated is clearly printed on Tweed's website). I agree on the funny taste. I do enjoy the aroma and flavor of...

    Lack of studies for MM. Why?

    Prohibition. Up until about a year or 2 ago, in the US researches had to go through a very strict process to do medical studies on marijuana. This ban has since been lifted, and Canada will quickly follow suit with legalization in the near future. Expect many more MMJ studies to be done in the...

    Charlotte's Web Strain log

    It's unfortunate that she is not able to get what she needs to help deal with the pain. The sad reality is I bet they would have no problem prescribing narcotics for her, but marijuana is just too "bad" of a drug right? I can't believe there is so much discrimination over medical marijuana...

    Charlotte's Web Strain log

    I smoke high thc strains by choice. I've been smoking for many years and am just starting to venture into the world of marijuana as a medicine. I'm in Canada and recently registered with a licensed producer. They have a 0 thc high cbd strain that I am interested in trying for using at work or...

    Blood work on imuran?

    You won't upset your doctor by asking questions or voicing your concerns. Blood tests are very important on these drugs. Try using high spf sunscreen. I have read online spf-100 is recommended for photosensitivity, but if you aren't developing rashes lower spf should do.

    Blood work on imuran?

    When I first started on Imuran they did blood tests every week, then after a few months they wanted it every month. Now after being on it for close to 20 years with all clean blood work and me being on a low dose they check it every 3 months. I was told having the blood work done is very...

    Hair loss

    I know this is an old thread but I will answer anyway. After my doctor recommended I take 1mg/day if folic acid I looked into why he said that. Imuran interferes with the bodies ability to absorb folic acid (as well as our lovely disease causing malabsorption) and low levels of folic acid can...

    Charlotte's Web Strain log

    What % thc would be considered "very low"? If you are looking for pain relief, cbd alone will not do it (in my experience). For managing my pain (which is usual only mild-moderate) I smoke high thc strains with very little cbd, which provides instant relief from pain and diarrhea. Cbd is good...

    Imuran question

    Imuran can negatively affect male fertility, however there have been no real studies to support this claim. My doctor told me it should be fine, and extensive research gave me very mixed opinions. From what I have read, it may just lead to frustration while trying to conceive, with no real...

    Your experience with azathioprine?

    It works, although the possible side effects can be pretty horrible (thankfully I haven't had to deal with them). My most recent problem has been photosensitivity. My wife and I have travelled to carribbean a couple times in the past year and I noticed I get hives which eventually turn into...

    My experience so far with Bedrocan

    I'll start this post off by saying that Bedrocan irradiates all of their products, which is information not readily available via their website. If you wish to avoid irradiated marijuana, I would look elsewhere. I do not like the practice personally, but for the price $5/g for each of their 6...

    Introducing myself

    Oddly enough I was sure I already had an account here.. Odd how I didn't.. Anyway. I was diagnosed with crohns when I was 9, am now almost 28 (4 weeks). Treatment started with prednisone, 5asa (salofalk) and Imuran. I have never needed any surgeries, but follow up colonoscopies every 5 years...
