my crohns and taking medical cannabis

hi all, it has been over a year now since i stopped all my pharma tablets altogether and started using cannabis morning day and night as my medicine....

to be honest i am not a fan of the high and could happily say if i didnt have crohns i wouldnt be a user of cannabis....

now i started with a vaporiser as i have asthma and i was told smoking cannabis is bad for the lungs and asthma , turns out a year later i am mainly inhaling my herb through a pipe or pure sliffs (no tobacco ever) and my asthma is still as it was before ( i always have problems when the temps change at night but thats always be usual)

comparing when i was on tablets to now i can say that i noticed the following changes :

No more sickness in the mornings
I have the "feeling" of my body back
i am more in control of my mood swings
not had a "typical" pain in over a year now

saying this i still go to the toilet 20 mins-hour after eating but this comes down to me eating wrong food

my blood tests all come back "no action needed" and i am happy to be off the tablets.

my main problem now is having such good spells that i forget i have crohns and will have maybe 2 macdonalds and a nandos in a week then by the end of the week ill be back at square one and ill with a minor flare up (15+ stools per day)

just thought id share my "progress" with using cannabis for my crohns

: just like to say my source of cannabis is grown purely for my needs high CBD strains and im thankful to the kind man who puts his "life" on the line to provide it for me

did you quit your meds first? and did your doctor give his approval? after all my readings it seems to be a great option?

 

[bboyzeez]

I basically quit my meds then I went straight onto the cannabis, I then went back to specialist and told him what I was doing he agreed if it helps me when I'm having a flare up to take it but he could not legally agree or write it down on medical papers which is fair enough I don't want him losing his job but ye it's a great option but I will be 100% honest as I stand right now

I have been I'll due to cutting fibre from my diet then doubling my dose of weed a day which lead me to eat a lot of bread and eggs which has caused me to be very bloated and constipated but things have calmed down now ... So quitting meds and taking cannabis will be for nothing unless u follow a strict diet and not slack and eat fatty foods

Thankyou I have still been eating what the dr orders but he seems to be pushing remicade and won't lower my steroid yet started shaklees (vitamins ect)he brushed thAt off see him again wed and I know he still gonna push remicade! We won't ever be able to afford thateven with the rebate program that isn't a guarantee and he hasn't givin me any other options so I want to talk to him about mmj and I know that I am gonna start to have to be pushy!! My husband and I have done tons of reading and outside of being medicated ( with all the side effects!!!!!) This is the rout we want to go at least to try asoption 2 before all the meds we can't afford!!thankyou for taking time to respond it means a lot when you don't feel so alone

 

[bboyzeez]

yes your not alone , i have felt alone for so many years , but yes main thing with the cannabis is to look for indica strains the stronger indica the better , i strongly suggest you looking at this link and making this as it is very strong and only takes a drop or two at a time and requires no smoking so no danger to lungs ( 100% the doctors will argue this , the other method alot easier is to use a vaporizer as they give out no combustion smoke as you set the temps to the lower heats where only the active ingredients come out)

go onto youtube and search shona banda , she was my turning point which helped me convice my parents to allow me to try , i know you are older but its still very comforting to watch. feel free to ask away i am here to help

I love the rick simpson or shona banda oil it put in remission then I started eating crap and got sick again but diet plus the cannabis oil is the best meds ever I'm not taking any pharma meds either as they make me sick and give me haeps of side effects but cannabis is the go for me I don't mind the high as it numbs me and releives all the pain and tension if you use a strain high in cbd's and its harvested at the right time you'll feel it more in the body.

Only downside for me is the craving (munchies) as all I want is crap but I try and and take it at night and avoid the muchies

also I still take strong pain meds during the day as I have bad arthritis and need some pain meds to get through the day but love the numbing feeling at night of the MMJ

Ye I made a oil batch which took two drops under tongue and 8 hours later was still high so having to try one drop and if not dilute it down even more lol ye I agree diet is the real cure lol
