Does Medical Marijuana Work for Ulcerative Colitis | I …

I have used cannabis for my multiple sclerosis for the past seven years, and after doing some testing (by stopping use a few times to see what would happen), I KNOW that it works for these diseases. I'm sure it works for colitis, too. I attended the January 2011 medical marijuana conference in Laguna Woods. OCNORML was selling a DVD of this conference's speakers, so anyone interested can probably order a copy and watch the speakers themselves. One speaker discussed how cannabis had saved his wife, and then his grandmother-in-law, from the effects of both Crohn's Disease and IBS. His wife developed both diseases. He did some research, and made her a drink called bhang, by gently cooking cannabis in goat's milk. Based on my experiences, if you cook cannabis at very low temperatures, you can infuse a liquid with the cannabinoids (and terpenes and flavenoids) without decarboxalating the THCa into THC. THCa, the natural plant acid, is not psychoactive. But THCa becomes THC, a psychoactive compound, when you knock the "a" molecule off by heating the THCa to 300 degrees Fahrenheit or more. I've made a cannabis glycerite to treat my MS and psoriasis, and I "pasteurize" it at about 180 degrees Fahrenheit. It does not become psychoactive. So anyone who wants to try cannabis for these digestive tract problems could make bhang and use a candy thermometer to make sure the temperature doesn't go above 180 or so if you want the product to be non-psychoactive. The bhang worked so well for the speaker's wife that when his grandmother-in-law was rushed to the hospital with what turned out to be one of these illnesses (I think it was Crohn's), the grandmotehr-in-law refused to allow herself to be treated with presctription drugs, and instead asked for what her granddaughter was using. They brought bhang to her in the hospital, and she got better. This is not a "cure." You need to continue to sue it as needed. That means these diseases are probably cannabinoid deficiencies. Ditto for other illnesses like MS and psoriasis.
