No, but I'm trying to find some. It's not legal where I live, except for cancer patients or those with seizures. I'm trying because of degenerative spinal issues due to taking lots of steroids many years ago when first diagnosed. I have had Crohns for 52 years, ileostomy 43 years. Pain meds either cause allergy or slug up my gut. Let me know if weed helps you. I havent used it since in my 20s and am now 70!

I have scleroderma with GI involvement - I have an ileostomy bag - and yes wake and bake helps me but in a way that it helps wake me up and actually curbs my appetite....i would rather have the pain of my disease than the pain of slow gut...

unfortunately, I too live in a state where marijuana is illegal. I have my ways of getting the higher grade weed tho... and yes it does help me with my colitis. so far, wake an bake is what I pretty much do for my life style for now.

What is wake and bake?

Wake and bake is when you first wake up and smoke. First hit of the day. It replaces coffee. :-)

I would think a good resource for info would be Medical Jane . com. For myself I ingest rather than smoke, and like the Kush strain. If you are very sensative to THC you may want to try spmething like CannaTonic or even a high CBD ratio. Seems that there is another component in cannabis that sort of cancels out the "head" trip from the THC. That is CBD!

I have had my "spout" since 1989, so another longtimer. I ingest cannabis. Fresh leaf smooties are good and you don't get the buzz - it takes heat to activate the THC, hense smoking or baked goods. You might also want to look into tumeric for anti inflammatory properties.

ok..I have a question about medical cannabis....is there a strain that will give the buzz, but not the munchies? I have colorectal cancer, had chemo, radiation, surgery for the colostomy, and now chemo again...I have never been able to take pain pills, and thats ok, I much prefer pot...been smoking since 1977....but back to my question....if a take a trip to colorado, could I get what Im looking for? and what do I ask for?

try this site for info about strains - as for a direct answer - I don't know of any - it lowers your blood sugar and so gives you the munchies as a cravng for sweets especially.
