Hey,

I've been contemplating using Cannabis to try and treat my Ulcerative Colitis and found this discussion through google...

Basically, I've had UC for the past 4 years now and the past few months its got really fucking bad. I'm not going back on steroids because theres no point - i dont suffer at all on them at high doses, but as soon as I stop taking them it just gets worse again. Plus, there terrible in the long-term anyway. I've been on every pill they can try (Azathropine at the minute - weekly blood tests) and I'm pretty sick of it.

Anyway, I was watching 'Entourage' of all things the other day and they mentioned using cannabis for chron's so I thought I'd have a google and there's a lot of stuff about it really helping people with colitis too.

Now, I've never touched cannbis, never even smoked, but I'm willing to try anything at the minute. How quickly did you see that it was working? How much did you smoke a day?

If it doesn't work for me fuck it I've tried everything else!
