It gives me pain relief from my ulcerative colitis and gives me an appetite at the same time. Its what i need, but cant have because my job adheres to USA federal regulations

That's great! Too bad you can't use it. Are there no other medicines that offer the same solutions?

[โ€“] Sc00ter@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sulfasalazine helps with inflammation, but that treats the long term maintenance. If i need a short term relief, nothing really helps the same.

Prednisone helps, but obviously way different with massive side effects

Ok, with the names and everything ^^, I don't know enough about those medicines and I won't even pretend to. From what I gathered nothing is as good as weed. Wich is good, that you found something that works. Medical marijuana can be a real life saver, as you already know. This is, to me, the interesting part of it. The rest is fine too, but the real heart of it is how it can help with some very particular illnesses. And not being able to have an actual discussion about lived experiences because of stigma and feelings, is getting in the way of the real discussion. I Wish you nothing but the best.
