I grew up dealing with a parent who suffered from a dire case of Crohn’s disease, my mother was bed bound for years of my childhood because the disease consumed her physically as well as made it impossible for her to live a normal life! By the grace of God as well as the Advent of better pharmacology, she was put on current medication that allowed her to go into remission for a few years, this lasted through much of high college as well as college for me.
But I lived at apartment while in the last several years of college as well as remember coming apartment some days to see my mom collapsed on the kitchen floor, and she would have a abrupt Crohn’s flare as well as it would debilitate her completely.
Back then she was allowed to use the Cannabis products to treat her Crohn’s problems. These days she is restricted from using cannabis products because of the other types of medications that she gets for all of her medical needs. This is a really unfortunate thing because some people rely on cannabis for treating Crohn’s disease… One of my friends from work currently uses cannabis to treat his Crohn’s disease symptoms, he started getting medical cannabis products back in 2017 when medical marijuana sales opened in this state. It’s frustrating that you have to spend my money the state $68 once a year just to keep your medical marijuana card. On top of that, you have to see your medical marijuana dentist twice a year. That ends up costing me $368 every year just to be a medical marijuana patient.
