There is more, but that is enough to give feedback. For me, using a vaporizer gave minor help in a crisis. To use it through the digestive tract works much better albeit hard to get the dosing right. I have had improved social functioning to some degree, because I can go out for if I have it on hand. It assists in sleeping but isn't perfect. I believe it played a large part of my recovery though I have a long way to go. I certainly think it is better than most meds used on these conditions.

I'm really curious to know what the experience is and if it does really help.... If you've tried it, please feel free to share what it's done for .

"A 2012 study published in Digestion noted that people who had had IBD for a long time responded favorably to marijuana, experiencing an increase in appetite, weight gain, better social functioning, improved ability to work, and an improvement in depression and pain after three months of treatment with inhaled cannabis. Earlier studies have also indicated positive effects."<br />I don't have personal experience because NY is rigid and strict with these laws. We'll probably be the last state to make it legal ONLY because of the pressures that all the surrounding states have legalized it. <br />I really don't like pot that much, I would try it though if the stuff helps Crohn's. Marijuana, I don't believe, ever killed anyone... Just makes you think you're gonna die (paranoia lol)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14915634441723395075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511783416021231187.post-75300077171700778092013-01-07T15:02:02.268-05:002013-01-07T15:02:02.268-05:00I am curious if the drug just helps with the side ...I am curious if the drug just helps with the side effects (munchies making you eat, gain weight, etc) or if it actually is aiding in the easing of inflammation and healing of the intestines. I think it is definetely a start but a lot more research needs to be done. At least this drug seems less harmful than Humira, Remicade, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
