Why some us doctors use cannabis for crohn disease?

[WTFN]

Hey Guys,

this week I got the diagnostic, that I have crohn disease.
I take some researche and I found that some us doctors gives
their patients cannabis. In Germany they won't that.
They said that it don't really will help and some people only
want to belive. But I think the real problem is the f'cking phamra industry!
I will get very hard medical stuff and I thought
maybe cannabis is a good alternative. So my question is
for what reason excactly us doctors gives their patients cannabis?
Is that in the most ways the therapie or is that an exception?
And what kind of cannabis is that? May cannabis with zero THC
is an alternative? so its where better for me, because so I don't get
in trouble here.

Thx

My GI recommends it as well. It’s legal in the state where I live so it’s easy to use. I use both CBD oil and regular cannabis mainly for pain control when my migraines and/or abdominal pain are bad. There’s a link below to an article and a support group here on the forum discussing it. The general idea is that cannabis acts as an anti-inflammatory on the body, but there haven’t been any bona fide studies done. It helps with my pain but I don’t actually know whether it is reducing any inflammation or not.

Personally, it’s a lifesaver. I’ve been using cannabis since age 13. I can honestly say I would have died a long time ago without it. My parents neglected my health when I was younger, so I went undiagnosed for years. It turned my life around when I had no other options. It’s not legal where I am, but that doesn’t stop me. My body doesn’t care about laws.

Helps my Crohn’s way more than CBD. (CBD is overpriced and hyped here. THC is what you need)

I’m not a doctor. I’ve just lived with this for over a decade now and don’t like the horrific side effects of the pharmaceuticals they’ve had me on in the past. (Still on Remicade)

Good luck. Please keep an open mind and don’t be swayed by big pharma’s propaganda and biased research. They know they can’t patent THC and it’s a massive threat to medical industry.

I cannot smoke, so the oil sounds Interesting.
