As someone with crohns who has personally experienced relief from symptoms with cannabis use, for the love of god please research it.

This isn’t a pain placebo thing. Taking a hit will stop a 30 minute cramp dead in its tracks instantly, like it melts away.

I’m tired of being persecuted by doctors for using cannabis as a crohns patient. It’s insane how this drug polarizes the IBD medical community.
