Crohnie
Crohn's Warrior
I can't be the only one on this forum with Crohn's Disease, so I decided to start a thread about the benefits of vaping cannabis for those with Crohn's.
Crohn's can have different symptoms depending on what part of the bowel is affected. In my case nausea, lack of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, too frequent bowel movements, and joint pain are the primary offenders. I've found that vaping cannabis can dramatically improve the suffering caused by Crohn's.
Nausea/Lack of appetite/Vomiting: Something I deal with on a daily basis. I can literally go from puking my guts out to eating a full meal 5 minutes after vaping some herb.
Diarrhea/Too frequent bowel movements: Even taking my prescriptions and with my Crohn's "under control" I was still having diarrhea and more bowel movements in a day than most people have in 3 weeks. When I vape cannabis, I have almost no diarrhea, and the number of bowel movements are cut in half.
Joint pain: Joint pain associated with Crohn's is similar to arthritis, but with no actual joint damage. I've had occasions where it was so bad, I was walking down the street like an old man when I was in my 30's. Once again, vaping cannabis comes to the rescue and keeps me off of opiate pain killers.
I hope this thread is informative and please feel free to share your experiences!
