Countering my initial statement: as a Crohn's sufferer, I'm hoping they are able to make a sound link to marijuana and the recession of symptoms in the near future. I know Israel is studying it at the moment. Then PA has to legalize and I'll be all set.
I'd be okay with edibles or a vaporizer to combat it, even though my case is quite mild. Risking losing credbility to my man-status, l find smoking out of a pipe is just a tad bit uncomfortable for me. Haven't tried bubblers or bongs to date.
I'd infinitely rather use a natural herb as a remedy than the risky and even potentially dangerous pills that are the current anti-Crohn's standard.
Argh I have Chrones, too
Once medicinal marijuana is legal in PA, get your gastroenterologist or a pain specialist to prescribe Marinol. It's far more reliable than edibles dose-age wise, and edibles can give you a roller coaster ride if not mixed adequately (which doesn't help with the nausea).
A partner in suffering!

Thank you for the advice. I'm sure it will be an uphill battle for this state though. Between bouncing around doctors, lab work, insurance etc I'm already tired of dealing with it.
Other than that though, my symptoms are pretty mild from what I've heard from others who have it, so long as I avoid trigger foods.
