It just became legal in my state, and I've got bad IBS. Does it help?
Personally, a diet change helped me more than pot did, but there were days it eased my symptoms where nothing else would. If you try it, do not become a heavy user as it can fuck up your digestive system.
I really think the biggest benefit is the psychological break from always being sick. I'm 51 and have been living with this since I was a kid. I have an ostomy, spinal and neck fusion, and general arthritis. Sometimes a fella just needs a break, you know? And cannabis can do that. I would also caution against over use. Once a day, small amount is my rule. If I'm getting a tolerance I don't increase. I either cut back, change up what I'm consuming, or appreciate that I get the relaxation benefits without being spaced out.
Highly recommend psyllium husk pills. 5 pills 2x daily does wonders for me.
