To any others suffering chronic digestive/stomach/intestine pain:

Just adding my 2 cents here. I know a lot of people are prepared to defend cannabis no matter what the opposition (even if it means throwing logic out the window). I understand that position, trust me.

However, after smoking daily for a few years, I experienced the exact same problems as the OP. EXACT. Was it my diet? Maybe...so I changed that. Still felt like shit. Maybe it was an infection of h.pylori (ulcers)? Maybe...so I went through a round of antibiotics. OK, so that didn't help. Maybe some X-rays and ultrasounds will give me a clue. Nope, nothing found there either.

One day I smoked my last bowl - but I didn't know it at the time. The pain and agony I would endure for the next 8 hours was excruciating. I knew at that point that I was done. I couldn't handle it anymore - it was completely destroying me: my career, social life, academics, EVERYTHING was being ruined by this illness. I couldn't concentrate for a moment without being reminded that my insides felt torn to shreds.

Well, guess what? After quitting, I felt better and better, day by day. I can't explain how relieving it was to slowly get my health (and life) back together. In hindsight, I realized that I had to accept the fact that cannabis isn't perfect, doesn't cure all pains, and isn't the #1 answer to the world's problems. If you've been through the shit we've been thru, you'd know. :mrgreen:

If you found this thread (like I did) after suffering every day for a long time, then I wish you the best in health. If you aren't sure, try experiment by stopping for at least 2 weeks and see if you don't feel better.

There are many truths to your health concerns. Every individual has to be accountable for there actions. Many and all drug substances can be abused and harmful to the human body. Things that can help people, that need their meds would be/ Use when needed. Do not overindolge. Fast. Use clean paraphernalia. Have the best clean cured marijuana possible. Marijuana is not for everyone. But it is the safest drug there is and the benefits from this plant out weigh any political scheme that opposes it. Good Luck to you. (Pot does give you the munchies, Maybe you ate to much junk food for to many years!)

Just to get my 2 cents in, I use medicinal cannabis to treat an otherwise debilitating case of IBS. Once the cramps start, I smoke a bowl and amazingly, I can function again.

Yeah, I call bullshit. I've worked in the healthcare industry for almost 25 years and I have never heard anything even remotely like this reaction being attributed to marijuana. These are all signs of Crohn's disease or diverticulitis, or other related diseases, and none of them that I know of are diagnosed with x-rays or ultrasound. And my wife also has IBS and when it acts up she smokes a little and it makes it better.

Ya sorry mate but as a Crohn's patient i call bullshit too IBD is a bitch and there are many university studies showing marijuana helps in the human gut without it my next option is oxycodone for pain management.

back before i smoked mj for the first time, i got bipolar and got a bleeding stomach (forget the english name, too much acid in the stomach and too wide an upper opening)
i smoke for both the bipolar and stomach and the mj does more for my stomach.
not all strains though, are equally good for either problem.
only thing a doctor managed to do for me, was get me on disability (smoke helps the bipolar, i still got it severe enough that many days i cant handle jobs)

that was barely worth the effort of needing to evade their pillpushing.
always find it ridiculous when people have respect for doctors in general :) occasional individual doctors yes, in general, no. theyve lost much credibility.

now, that being said.

this is my experience, what mj does (among other things) for me,
for you? i dont know, our bodychemistry might be different enough for cannabis to affect you adversely. not all chemicals affect us the same. thats why they are trying to dna match drugs to people.

you got some ill and mj seems to be adversely affecting it or even is the ill? sure quit smoking, see whats what.
but i kinda doubt mj being bad for the stomach is a widespread thing.

more something like, the very occasional person thats allergic to beestings or strawberries :)

or you got some other sickness thats throwing your body out of wack, or lifestyle

or heck, maybe shiva is angry at you lol (rather big cannabis deity (or he´s fond of it, supposedly :)

dont know.

takes all kinds and everything exists, or something like that :)

I have a friend that just can't smoke weed because it makes him really sick to his stomach and he will end up in the bathroom hugging a toilet every time while I on the other hand feel no ill effects. Everyone is different, just because it doesn't make you sick doesn't mean it won't make others ill. He is the only person I have seen throw up from smoking though.

That just means the person got the "whities" or the "greenies".

It's more to do with your friend having no tolerance and in effect getting extreme motion sickness from the perceived "spinning"...happened to me when I started smoking when I smoked a bit too much. Some people get it from booze too, it's more to do with the brain than the stomach.

Hope this helps.

I drove a wrecker on weekends and parapectolin could be purchased over the counter at the time so I could eat what ever and go to the pharmacy and keep on driving. Para-goric & pectolin combination medication removed for 1 chemical that hurts my stomach for diphtheria-arehha. Go figure. But you can still get paregoric for a baby?
Simple fix for room spinning put your foot on ground like a brake. Or Grab your dresser chest of drawers if in the bed. Tactile solid is supposed to help trick your brain or just stop brain from spinning in your head?

Personally I would rather eat pot in a brownie. And I only need that to help me with sickness sometimes. I think if everyone was like me pot would be legal. The problem is that immature people walk around smoking it all day as if they can't function without it. I know I used to be one of those dudes. That's what people look at negatively. Just grow up people. There is more to life than smoking pot all the time. Bryant from North Carolina.

"used to tell us lies" They are still lieing. I have to admit if I was being paid by the drug companies that much money, I might lie also.

Yes, there most definitely is, if thats your thing. But who are you to tell someone how to live their life? Dude wants to smoke his life away, well, I hope he has good weed and has a good time, and if he/she does then what the fuck does it matter to anyone else?

I be out doing my thing, whatever it is that day. But if I wanted to get high all day everyday and walk around looking like a grunge out loser, wtf do you care? If my bills are paid and I'm not breaking laws, it don't matter what you think in the least.
