    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    The only medical benefit I see for kratom is to help with opioid cessation. There has also been incidences where it has caused liver dysfunction. There are no medical papers on its use with Crohn's. I have been using cannabis off and on illegally for over 10 years with zero legal or medical...

    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...

    Lemons

    Is it ok to throw a whole lemon in the juicer or should I remove the skin first? I use organic produce so I was thinking that maybe it would be ok. I'd love to get some opinions on this. Thanks :smile:

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    Yeah... I understand. I think they can make things worse over time. Maybe try out some artificial tears. Those are different from visine and clear eyes just in that they are primarily lubricating. If it gets worse I would definitely go back to the doctor.

    Well, MM is supposed to relieve eye pressure and is known to be helpful to conditions such as Glaucoma which is caused by intraocular pressure. Have you tried using eye drops to remove the redness? Do you have allergies? Perhaps you should explain the redness and throbbing to your...

    CNN - fecal transplant for c. diff

    Another story in the news about fecal transplants for curing c. diff. This patient was in a car accident and developed c. diff from all the antibiotic use. They tried the nasogastric route but the infection came back. Then, they tried the implant again with a colonoscopy and had excellent...

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    I think it could be a little bit of both. I was using MM for a while and was fine. I thought I was in remission. But, then I stopped and felt HORRIBLE for about a month. I know that coming off of MM after a prolonged period can cause weakness and extreme tiredness. But, at the same time, you are...

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    My apologies, Kev. I wasn't accusing you of being a scaremonger. That comment was pointed towards negative news reports on cannabis in general and how they do little to educate on the healing properties and positive aspects of cannabis instead of just all the (possible) negative side effects.

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    The documentary you speak of was focused on teenagers in BC. The teenagers in the documentary are struggling with mental disorders due to being exposed to such high quality cannabis with loads of THC during an important developmental stage of the brain. This is indeed a known side-effect of...

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    David, I agree there are side effects to everything. But it would be helpful to have more information about these findings. Such as ingestion methods, etc. It seems like this wasn't a controlled population but a theory based on the question "do you use marijuana". There are many studies on...

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    There is no telling what other substances these males were doing recreationally that could be attributed to cancer. I bet that they also smoked the marijuana instead of using an edible or vaporizing. There are all kinds of nasties that occur when you burn something. Just say no to combustion.

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    Last week I used a high CBD strain from Colorado called "Luca Brasi". 8.44 percent CBD, 10.93 percent THC. It was very nice. I was incredibly comfortable. If you want only CBD's, check out Dixie Elixirs. They make hemp-derived CBD products. There is no THC (the psychoactive compound in...

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    Oh yes... marijuana is so harmful. I feel good, and nausea free, and able to eat a decent meal for the first time in months... this is SOOOO HORRIBLE. Sorry. I have no idea. That line really pisses me off though--and the naive, uneducated bit at the top about smoking it. As if that is the only...
