Doing better than ever because of a plant!

[rusty2112]

Hello, I just joined here because I am not able to talk about cannabis except with my Mom and Dad. I live in a state that might place me in prison for using a life saving medicine. It has been the most effective treatment that I have tried for this Crohn's disease. Before trying cannabis medicine I really didn't know that poop could take on shapes!

For the past 2 years it has almost been like remission for me. I have less than half of my intestines left and lots of left over bad effects from all of the standard meds for crohn's, but other than that I've. never felt better.

Almost no pain, very little diarrheah, fantastic appitite with no nausea or vomiting. Hard to believe I know, but it is the truest thing that has ever happened to me.

Side effects: Hungry often, dry mouth, temporary short term memory hazyness, peace in my head, sleep like a dead man. I can deal with those!

If you get a chance please watch Dr. Sanjay Gupta special on CNN about medical cannabis. I watched it with my parents. They had seen the abrupt change in my crohn's but watching that documentary really affected their thinking on the subject. They are 80 years old and wish they could tell my story to everyone so it would help others.

Thank you for reading my post. I look forward to talking with you guys.

Thanks for sharing your story
It really is a shame that MM is outlawed in so many states and that we have to risk getting thrown in jail for wanting a better quality of life. Maybe someday, this will all change
Its great to hear that you are in remission!

I'm right there with you, rusty.

I'm only about a week into my own little marjuana experiment but nothing has ever worked this well, this quickly.

Thanks for telling your story makes me happy.

Great to see you taking your health into your own hands! It's a truly wonderful feeling knowing that something that's naturally found on our planet can treat this disease!

Yay for MMJ! I use it for help with pain and nausea and it sure helps! Pretty much everyone knows I use too, except my inlaws, they are in the "all drugs are bad, just change your diet you will feel better" mentalitly. But if I do get diagnosed with IBD I can get a prescription when they change the laws in the spring. Then my inlaws won't be able to say anything about it

hey Rusty,
Would you mind sharing what type of MM you used and how you used it. Do you vaporize, use the CBD rich oil, or take the caps. Do you also use THC or a combination of both. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey there, I think I posted in the wrong place. So, I will try again. Just wondering if you can give us more information about what type of MM you used to achieve remission. Was it CBD rich oil, THC or a combo of both and in what mode of delivery. Thanks so much

Hello, I am sorry that I didn't reply sooner. I haven't checked my email for a bit.

I live in Wisconsin so I don't have access to the many strains that are available in a good dispensery in a legal state. I have been fortunate to gain the trust of a Michigan cargiver that has helped me obtain some very helpful products. This guy is so cool that he takes my monthly order and delivers it to my door!!

I have tried several different strains that are available to me. They are: Chemdog, Lemon haze, Strawberry cough, tangerine haze, Blackberry widow, Blueberry, and some others I don't remember.

I have used Rick Simpson oil, Smoked, Vaporized, Glycerin Tincture, Honey Oil, and the tastyest cannabutter chocolate brownies. I get whatever is available that month and don't really get a choice. The brownies are available every month though. Each brownie has the equivalent of one gram of dried buds. The butter is made using the chemdog strain. I have found for myself that I do need to actually ingest some to mitigate the non stop pooping. I eat half a brownie twice a day. If I am having bad cramping and want immediate relief I smoke or vape a couple hits. My appitite is ravenous after that. I eat sooo much food it is almost unbelievable. A dozen donuts is not unusual.

I would definitely try other strains if they were available to me. There is probably a strain somewhere that would work even better than what I have tried. I am very grateful however, for what I get. It has absolutely changed my life.

I am hopeful that the laws will change soon. I would really enjoy growing my own medicine. I hope that I answered any questions. I wish I had more information to share.

I am so happy that others are getting relief from this medicine too

I'm glad you're having such a positive response to Cannabis. We're hearing that more and more
