Ulcerative Colitis and Pot

End of Experiment.

2010-08-20T11:17:00.002-04:00

I'm ending this treatment because I'm moving September 1st and won't be able to safely smoke marijuana without legal implications. This treatment has certainly been a success. Over the last six months, my condition went from debilitating - ~~bloody mucus bowel movements every hour or two~~ - to completely manageable. However, it did have its drawbacks of unpleasant mental effects. I'm going to look into two other alternative treatments: Helminthic therapy and HPI. This will be the last post on this blog. If you would like more information about my condition and experiences please email me at ucandpot {at} yahoo.com.

Although this treatment is certainly working, I don't know if I can sustain the dosage level. It hasn't had any negative physical or psychological effects. However, I don't enjoy the amount of time that I loose in smoking every other day. I'm considering HPI treatment next week. If that works, then the marijuana would be something to use in an emergency instead of so regularly.
