I can only speak as a cancer and MS patient I can verify that cannabis use with the maintenance of your doctor has done wonders for me. I would not be functioning with out it!

Love this candid reply! Edibles, oil vapes, flower, flower vapes? What's the go-to?
Patient
I have used it for stomach cramping/soreness. My preference is vaping because its not as harsh and typically kicks in pretty quickly. Sometimes it feels like my intestine just cramps up in a knot and vaping helps it to relax and/or if I've had a tough time with my jpouch, all the surrounding muscles in my pelvic region tend to tense up and I find that cannabis helps them all to just chill out a little bit.
I tried to use it once when I had a blockage to see if I could relax the intestine enough...I couldn't...but I do think if I had caught it sooner it may have worked.
