Hello

[Knickerbka]

Hey,my names christian.I live and travel back and fourth from NY,Long Island,Miami,and Key west.I'm a student and was suffering terriblly from Crohns disease before I found marijuana.The best doctors in the country told me my intestines had to go...I didn't wanna hear it.I continued to look for ALTERNATIVES when I finally found marijuana.Now....I can Eat without throwing up,I have an appetite,my intestines are here and FULLY healing,my blood counts back up,and my Doctors are more confused then when I smoked shwag.I have been doing this for 5 months and already have seen all this progress.I plan to go to a prestigous college or university in california and ,legally,recieve my life saving medicine :hippy:

That is beautiful. Do your doctors know you're smoking weed? Or did they refer you to marijuana?

[Knickerbka]

I have yet to come out and tell them,but plan to tell them in the future.Hard to see how different doctors would react.Interesting though because they truely are stumped on how my intestines magically healed from their complete ulceration.

BIG oversight on my part- Sorry! I will be doing an update of my medical post around New Year's and these will be included!

When you decide to tell your doctor the truth, go in "loaded for bear"- take a printout of these abstracts and articles. They ought to blow your doctor's mind! :D Hey, if the doctors don't know about cannabis, WE have to teach them! (And give them the URL for the post, too! Here is my post at TY- a Canadian MMJ site- I don't know if your doc is ready for C.com. ;) )
