Hi Michelle,

I'm wondering if you would share what type of administration you've found to work best with Crohn's? It would make sense that cooking with oils and cannabutters would work best or is smoking just as effective?

Peace and pot

Can you help me? I live in Ontario. I'm 27, I've had crohn's for 6 years! Just recently (8 months) I've discovered weed, and although my crohn's has been under control with imuran and pentasa, I've noticed I can cut back on imuran, and I'm pretty much quit pentasa all together. Also, my mood is much improved, and anxiety of just having this "you're broken" label in the back of your mind is gone. I use it only at night b4 bed, and vape in my MFLB. I've worked in IT for 10 years, and make a good salary, have a wife and newborn, multiple houses (rentals). When I asked my specialist if he would sign the paper work he told me that cannabis is not an approved treatment for Crohn's....and also that the pentasa has been proven to be no more effective that a placebo (thanks for 5 years of side effects btw doc). I've also asked my family doctor and he has refused to sign it without specialist approval. I would really like my son to grow up in a household with a law abiding citizen, and not a illegal drug user. Getting caught would pretty much ruin my life. How can I get legal? Help!

You can read all around yourself.

Where? Besides you, I seems like no one else here has gotten their Medical Card in Canada.

I don't have a medical card, no interest in medical permission cards, I have no medical reason to use cannabis, but a RIGHT to belong to myself. You know, Liberty? Here's a place to start.

Sorry, I thought u were the OP. Either way, you've been no help....thanks for trying though :-)

Crohn disease is a disorder causes aggravation of digestive tract, also referred to as the gastrointestinal tract. Crohn's disease seems to run in some families. The main gastrointestinal symptoms are abdominal pain and diarrhea, which may be bloody.

I have to agree, I've tried everything there is, bud helps a lot but the real remedy is Humira. I started a blog on it, if you're interested:

Crohn's blog crohnsdiseasediagnosis.blogspot.com/

I have to agree with cronict910. I started Humira in February of this year and it really does work well. It's the only pharmaceutical I take for Crohn's and I only have to take it once every 2 weeks.

A couple studies I've read have shown that CBD does the same thing as Humira. The studies didn't compare the 2 but both "drugs" come to the same result. They bind to TNF alpha cells but CBD does it indirectly. Given how little CBD is in marijuana, using marijuana for Crohn's is probably not the best thing. It certainly helps with pain and intestinal spasms but those are just the symptoms.

One of the studies that I read found that the optimal dosage for CBD was around 20-25 mg/kg. Coincidentally the patent that the US government has on medical marijuana (I forget for what condition) quotes 20mg/kg as well.

For argument's sake, if a strain of marjuana contained 5% CBD per gram of plant material, and I weigh 200 pounds or about 90kg, I would need 1800mg of CBD. This means I would have to injest about 35-36 grams of plant material a day. This is not a viable solution.

The theoretical alternative would be to use industrial hemp. Given that industrial hemp is bred to produce incredibly small amounts of THC it should contain alot of CBD. Eating industrial hemp alone probably wouldn't do the trick either. You would have to make a concentrated form of hemp like hemp oil.

It's truly a shame that compassion clubs don't offer this. You would think that such entities would be interested in this; but when some clubs charge 10 dollars a gram, or more, they've clearly placed compassion on the back burner.

I'm sure there will be people who take offense to that and that's fair. To those, all I have to say is that the club I belong to only charges 6 and the quality is the same.

With that said if there are any clubs in BC interested in testing the hemp oil theory I would gladly be a test subject. Send me a message if you're seriously interested.
