Thanks for the post mr grum. After being diagnosed I became an expert on the disease really quickly. I have found that diet is extremely important in keeping my disease in remission. What I have also found is that smoking cannabis not only increases my appetite but it actually gets rid of my cramping for the following two to three days with regular bm's. I'm not sure if you've seen the results of the tests being done over the pond in the United Kingdom, but they have found cannabis receptors in the lining of the colon. They call them CB1 and CB2 receptors. The cannabinoids actually bind to these receptors and shut down the flaring caused by the overactive immune system. That is why cannabis is so effective against the disease. It is important to mention that low quality cannabis has little effect on my symptoms (severe diarr. cramping, bloody stool, fatigue..etc) The most effective form I have found is kine bud vaporized. The huge problem I face, is that it is a criminal activity to purchase this medicine. Not only that, but to get the effective kind of bud (chronic) I have to meet with serious criminals who are often selling hard drugs too. I want to be free of interactions with criminals and that's why I want to move. I want to grow my own medication so I don't have to worry about police and drug dealers.
The goverment needs to realize that some people really do need this plant in order live a healthier, more normal life.
