Sorry, I just need to rant...
You haven't been diagnosed with Crohn's? You really should get a GI doctor to check you out to know exactly what you have, it might/might not be Crohn's, plus you will want them to do tests and X-rays to make sure you aren't anemic, or have blockage, etc. I made this post the night after my doc gave me a lame excuse for not supporting medical marijuana, which I expected, but I didn't expect the lack of research on his part which is what really pissed me off.
But my doc is just a bad doctor, there are good GI doctors out there and I will be changing for my next visit. Don't take the good news of MJ with something like Crohn's and completely write off the expertise of a doctor, you never should replace marijuana with a doctor!
I have only experimented temporary with marijuana, and while I can honestly say it seemed to work better than any pharmaceutical drug with low side effects, I haven't used long enough to really call myself a great test rat.
However, I have found these links which I think are definitely worth reading through, the first one comes from a website that lets people rate how well their medications work compared with their side effects. This link is specific to Crohn's patients using marijuana, and only 1 person had anything negative to say, and in my opinion he seems mostly afraid of the legal issue and probably didn't do a good enough test (such as trying different/better quality strains). In my own personal test I found the first strain I got did little to help me, but the next batch was like a wonder drug.
