    Anybody have a recommendation on how to use specifically to combat the urge to go? Vaping or smoking bud, vaping or smoking wax, edibles, tinctures? I'm starting to get lung pains until I smoke so I more so want to know edibles vs vaping bud or wax? I'm getting my medical card in the mail in the next week

    Get a strain that has high CBD levels. CBD slows down muscle contractions of the stomach and intestines. It aids the transit of food to the intestines and reduces inflammation of the gastrointestinal(stomach) tract. As far as consuming goes its personal preference really. Stay faded :smoking:

    Hello there. I am a fellow crohnny. I would agree with what kushigh said, high CBD helps. I would also use a vaporizer if you can. If you ever need advice or want to talk about Crohns shoot me a PM. I've been thru a lot of shit (pun) with my Crohns so I feel as if I have a good understanding of the disease. Good luck!

    Yeah I want an arizer but I spent almost 500$ last week and I'm 19 so I'm gonna keep smoking for now. I'm going to the dispensary this week or next week for the first time so ill be sure to get a high CBD strain. I read online that thc suppresses the immune system and crohns is my immune system fighting off an imaginary infection which is what irritates the intestine? So I figured I would just need the highest thc content strain they have. Btw crohns fucking blows right? Well I'm skinny now so I guess that's a plus side, not that I was way overweight

    The way I see it is that it could always be worse. Just gotta learn to accept it, deal with it, and learn to live a productive lifestyle.

    Well I already felt that I needed to live a productive lifestyle before I got sick.. And I know there's nothing to cure it so ive accepted it which is why it blows. Not to mention i know people with worse but we seem to share the same perspective about crohns.

    Hi.  I am new to grass city.  I have Crohn's disease and am here to learn.  I am slowly getting my anti-weed overly conservative friends and family used to the idea that I am going to be trying to use an alternative medicine.  I was diagnosed at 12 and have had over 200 surgeries.  I live in Texas where it is illegal to get well.  I am 43 and have tried every treatment that doctors have prescribed to me.  I have been sent to top specialists and in 31 years no one ever mentioned Cannabis.  I played by the book and am throwing it back.  With fistulas that haven't healed in 28 years, ankles shot to heck from Prednisone, no colon, a wheelchair in my future and a dozen other things I have nothing left to lose. 
     
    I took myself off of every medicine that the doctors have prescribed.  I changed everything in my diet.   I am going to take a get well vacation as soon as I figure out where to go and what to take.  I have never had the pleasure of having natural medicine.  The path they had me on was killing me slowly and painfully.   I don't take prescription pain relievers.  I white knuckle it.  And that includes the kidney stones that the ileostomy causes. 
     
     I will answer questions if anyone has any of me.  And I am open to listening to advice, pitfalls, etc.  So, that's it for now.  Thank you.  [​IMG]
