Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Medical marijuana for IBS

You have touched a subject that is close to my heart � and I am sorry if I sound harsh. I am not trying to attack you or anything like that. I think that over the years I have really turned into a nice person. At least I try and hope�

This is a good site to discuss many things, but if you wish to smoke marijuana it is not for your health � it's for pleasure.

Let me introduce myself �

Hi � I'm DoubleJ � I'm a recovering addict. That sound familiar to some folks???

I spend hours a week with an NA group trying to stay off of and get all ages of people off of drugs. I have been drug free since 24 May, 1979, and hiding in Wyoming. I was one of the lucky ones. I survived my dope days without destroying too many brain cells. My teeth ache and my body hurts. My knowledge of marijuana and other drugs is first hand. I used to smoke grass to take the edge of the speed which was so easy to obtain in SE Asia. I always thought that we stayed alive because we never slept. And it is just not worth the cost.

I have never heard of marijuana being legal for IBS so how can it be medicinal? Let me tell you what I do know. Although marijuana itself is not addictive (which is still debatable) it still gets you nearer to an environment where there are other drugs that are. And eventually most people will try something else.

There are better ways to control your ibs symptoms then lighting up a joint, or firing up your bong, or baking brownies.

Do you know what people will do for drugs? Young men become brutal � young women will do anything �

So � you certainly can have your own opinion and ideas � me too. Drugs kill. Worse they degrade everyone they touch.

I'm sorry. Marijuana is not the answer for IBS.
