I can attest this is true. I have Crohn's Colitis and also use cannabis to treat its symptoms. It seems to help avoid flare-ups, and with adjustments to diet you can live an almost normal life. Once the medical cannabis exemption law went into effect in Oakland, California in 1996 where I lived, I was able to ween myself off prednisone, asacol, and sulfasalazine. I have yet to have a big flare-up since. A little pot each day staves it off... It seems to calm the plexus, but not sacrifice motility. It may also decrease inflammation down there. I am a long term patient and I know what I know. Cannabis medicine helps this condition, and many others too.
Hi there, can you please tell me in details as to how do you take cannabis for this - what quantity, and how do you get hold of cannabis, regards harsh harshrajrif@yahoo.com
Hello/Salute, I am a 39 year old male, diagnosed with Crohn's when 24, have tried everything pharmacists/doctors can peddle, got way too bad and had 1st resection done @ 25, left hospital and bought an ounce/month,for the following 11 years i never took a pill or even walked into a clinic for that matter. moved from Alberta to Nova Scotia 3 years ago and was talked into quitting mary's help! didn't last a year and had to have a rush surgery to remove more after numerous pharmas such as Remicade and azthioprine with budesenide chasers! I now have crohn's disease, restrictures disease, massive fistuals, and reoccuring cysts. knock on wood, no colostomy "yet". that i was promised @ my next surgery.I am having the hardest time trying to get my mmc license and find a compasionate doctor to care enough to help me before it's too late. Hopefully that will cheer you up!?!
Wow, sorry to hear about your ordeal and really wish you the best. Don't know much about the pot and Crohn's, but being a Crohn's or should I say former Crohn's sufferer I can sympathize. Have you heard about the research that has been done on Crohn's and yeast infection/candida albicans. The research shows that Crohn's and many of the so called autoimmune diseases has and can be caused by candida. Read the book The Fungus Link and try an anti yeast diet, it may help.
