Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will be removed and our normal comment rules apply to all other comments.

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.

Anyone else getting sick of the 600 “weed good” posts this sub gets every day?

no it's a valid medication and these groups are trying to suppress it because they profit off alcohol sales and abuse

No but I do get sick of the obvious bias and hatred directed against the well known medical benefits of a common and easily cultivated plant that have been noted for thousands of years. The cannabis plant has been so profoundly recognized as beneficial throughout history that its benefits have been documented repeatedly across multiple cultures. The reason comments like the above are so annoying is that they feed into the racist and politically motivated campaign to smear cannabis and normalize the bias as if it ought to be some commonly accepted norm to cast disdain and contempt at anything that threatens incumbent financial and political interests. That is truly sickening and not just ugly but sad.
