Crohns Disease

Since I have started smoking I haven't taken any prescription meds for my Crohn's. Plus weed helps me sleep and eat more so I would recommend smoking. It helps a lot.

 

I myself do not have chron's but I know for a fact many people with crohns find cannabis relieves their symptoms better than alot if not any other medications.

 

Thought I'd pull up Granny's MMJ List for this one. Making her job a little bit easier
Well links are messed up, but heres the link if you want the info. http://forum.grasscity.com/medical-marijuana/645925-grannys-mmj-list-july-2010-a.html

I have crohns And have had 4 surgeries. The stuff really helps with nausea and appetite. One major area it helps with is cramping. It really helps relax the muscles. I for one find it very helpful. The issue I have now is that my mom, dad, and grandfather have all passed away and they were my suppliers. Not like you can just ask someone randomly if they smoke.

Good luck. I hope everything works out for you. I've had it for 21 years so if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Take care!
