I take Humira every 2 weeks, and both pentasa and imuran daily.

I intend to begin vaping a strain of marijuana.

Does anyone have any knowledge on whether there will be any negative interaction with the marijuana on the combo of 3 listed biologic, immunosuppressant and anti inflamm listed in title?

I have my opinion and many do but does anyone know for sure?
Thanks!
 
I have not taken Humira or Remicade (yet) but I have taken pentasa for many years, not any more as i was told by my new GI, it is a waste of time for me.
I am currently using methotrexate(mtx) injections which seems to be working, but after about a year, I am starting to get pains in my ileum again, saw the GI last week, time for another scope to see what's going on as my CRP markers (blood test) are up again.
I failed on Imuran as i got a major gut ache on it, after a very short time on it. It was assumed to be my pancreas reacting to it.
I have used cannabis( I vap daily) during all the above and never have had an issue. it helps with the nausea associated with mtx.
 
Thanks for your response RickS, appeciate it.
I would like to know if someone has been on the mix of the imuran with Humira which i am told is now being used together quite alot and works well.
I dont want to negatively affect the two of those working together so im hopinh marijuana wont do so. Hopefully theres someone with experience on using humira/imuran/marijuana and pentasa together.

Slim chance but it is a big world, lots of possibilities.
Glad that i can share my experiences with everyone and this forum is made available to us CD sufferers.
Just the mix itself of humira/imuran/pentasa is not that common. You must be on a drug plan, as the insurance companies are as lame as the rest of them. Like the pentasa for instance, I ate 1000's of them, now I am told they are a waste of time for me with disease in the terminal ileum. I laughed at my GI the other day, told him about all the information I have read in this forum. I said to him, all you GI's know what to do for CD, is just throw everything (drugs) you can at CD, as it is really a crap shoot. I got a blank stare back, no comment.
All us CD patients are Guinea pigs, my suggestion to you for thc/cbd is to try it out, ease into it, like take one vap puff, that is it, see what happens, up the dose as required, as you can tolerate. if it does nothing or you do not like the effects, stop. if it works, gives you some relief = great. I wish THC/CBD would cure or arrest my CD, that is a tall order. I was just told by my GI that mtx will also not ever beat down the CD into submission.
Ingesting THC/CBD it is the safest way to take it over inhaling it. Injestion of THC has way more of a body stone than a head buzz. Try the high CBD types, to lessen the THC effects. I have yet to try high CBD/low THC types.
THC/CBD are pretty benign to begin with as far as side effects go. Your body has receptors to these chems. Your body produces similar substances, cannibinoids, so that in it self holds a lot of weight as to its safety. Your body does not produce anything close to humira/imuran/pentasa. these are all toxins in reality.
Animals/humans have been using MJ since the beginning of our species. even our cat loves to eat the stuff(leaves) and she is as finicky as they come. i think I can trust my cat as much or more as I can trust big pharma or the med community in this subject :)
As far as side THC/CBD side effects, if you consider munchies(appetite), euphoria, anti-nausea, relaxation as side effects, sounds pretty safe to me in comparison to the big pharma solutions.
I showed my sister the other day the sheet of paper that came with the mtx, unreal, every side effect that one could imagine, including death of course, just so that the drug mfg can cover their a$$e$$ in the courts. See, we printed it on the label, that it could kill you :) The tissue paper info sheet covered the coffee table with print that you need a magnifying glass to see.
I am planning on making some THC/CBD oil so i can ingest and try out, I will report my results in due course, after i can get off the couch :)
Take care
Rick
 
Thanks Rick for your reply.
Yeah i reckon the oil is possibly the best way , it just seems a bit harder to get for me and i dont know if i wud trust myself developing it myself lol

Let me know how you get on

watch Rick Simpson do it, except use high proof ethyl instead of methyl. what is the highest proof that you can get where you live? i can only get 80 proof in ontario, i have to go to quebec to get the right stuff. the Jamaicans use their 151 rum. if you do it right, you can reclaim the ethyl and use it again. now we need to become chemists too, nah its cooking :)
 
Yh i must do. Not sure what proof i can get here in ireland. Its because of all those kind of difficulties in adfition to then doing it right that i woukd tend to get the right strain and just vape lol
