Crohn's is incurable. As someone who suffers from crohn's disease i find this shit insulting.

This woman has gone into remission. It is cyclic in nature.

This kind of story is horse shit. You-tube horse shit.

This is fucking ridiculous! They describe Crohn's as terminal. Crohn's is not terminal !!!!! it is chronic and cyclic but certainly not terminal!

Stop posting rubbish puffin! what are you? Fox fucking news for the counter-culture?

Sorry to hear that you have Crohn's, colinzeal. Before you get into name calling, of the messenger, have you tried the hemp oil? Have you tried to cure your disease using this method? Hemp oil is not 100% effective for all people or for all ailments. Call me all the names you want. I couldnt care less.

i hope it makes you feel better about your drug use puffin but this is just bull crap!

I happen to have two mason jars of hemp oil right here. guess what i'm not cured and either is anybody else with crohn's disease unfortunately.

Its irresponsible unsubstantiated bullshit.

Cannabis has helped me with my pain and my appetite when i've been ill.
But i'm not ill right now, should i claim cannabis cured me? No f'in way.

Crohn's disease "cures" itself, it can disappear without a detectable trace all on its own. Its called remission. BUT it comes back! Maybe in a year maybe in twenty but it does come back.

Giving ill people false hope of a cure is a horrible thing to do, especially when the substance may actually make them feel better but wont actually cure them.

I'm very very glad that their are REAL medical trials underway to use cannabis components to attempt to treat crohn's disease. But claiming a cure is ridiculous.

I hope nobody close to you gets ill and needs medical care because Dr Puffin will just lather them oily cure all and pray to rick simpson.

The producers of this video have not even the decency to acurately present the disease they are talking about. Does that not tell you something? Or do you care? Is it simply enough for you for someone to talk about cannabis in a positive light? thats enough science for you?

God, i hope nobody who has had someone die from cancer feels like this when they see your daily rick simpson fan club posts.

I dont say it can cure everything, but you should stop talking about cancer, because its a proven fact that the compounds of marihuana can stop tumor-growth or even destroy cancer-cells. we have read many articles about this in the last months.

I havent seen the vid and I wont watch because I dont know if its true or not, so lets get back to scientific evidence

back to the evidence then shady. evidence interpreted by a pro-cannabis doctor.

while there is growing evidence from animal studies that it may shrink tumor cells and cause other promising salutary effects in some cancers, there is no present evidence that it cures any of the many different types of cancer.

but i'm talking about a claimed cure of crohn's disease here not cancer, thats a separate (million) thread(s).

my mention of cancer was in reference to how this thread and its claims made me feel.

That's not really getting back to the evidence colin. That's getting back to the interpretation of the evidence. Still having a hard time understanding why people on a marijuana forum get so up in arms about marijuana possibly being beneficial for relieving the symptoms of diseases. You'd think you were on a Nancy Reagan Just Say No forum with some of the shit people post.

colinzeal · Post by **colinzeal** » Sun 29th Aug 2010 04:14 pm

and some woman on youtube misrepresenting her disease is evidence? go back to bed stanky. dont you think i'd LOVE if there was a cure for Crohn's Disease? I'd love it, even if it was dogshit extract i'd love it.

wanting something to be true does not cut it.

and of all the people to say anything about evidence.....have you actually decided to understand what Niall has been trying to drill into now that you can use it disagree with someone?

but aside from that i was just repeating "evidence" from a thread on here, the type of "evidence" that is perfectly acceptable when its confirming your bias. Evidence by a pro-cannabis doctor who most people respect. Evidence that is exactly the type of thing shady was referring to - Internet articles interpreting studies. except this one is by someone wildly respected by the cannabis community. and just to be fair i used an article posted by puffin himself. it just shows that ye can all read the arguments but choose to accept the ones you like. Its called confirmation bias and it makes you feel better about your lifestyle.

and you've (once again) totally missed the point. nobody is "up in arms about marijuana possibly being beneficial for relieving the symptoms of diseases". this issue (and indeed as i understand all the other arguments) have been about claiming cannabis as a CURE for diseases.

I've already stated cannabis helps when I am sick, i wouldn't deny it for a second. Its the unsubstantiated and completely dubious claims of cure that are the problem.

just go back and read that Dr Grinspoon article. the bit about people refusing real medical treatment in favour of ineffective home remedies that claim to be cures.

this is not about cannabis. if you posted an article about a homoeopathic cure for crohn's i'd be bloody mad too. but you probably wouldn't bat an eyelid at such an article cos you dont smoke "homoeopathy" on a daily basis.

Sorry I misphrased it ya little bitch. People are getting all up in arms when there is evidence that cannabis could possibly cure something. Still fucking retarded if you ask me. Oh and I wasn't referring to the video when talking about evidence I was talking about your quote.

Dont moan at Puffin. Puffin just posted a link. Didnt make the video, write the book or anything.

Being offended isnt actually anything. Its not like anything changes, just that the person becomes offended.

Either the womans a con artist (intentional or not) or shes helped herself. If shes helped herself, great, if shes a con artist, just ignore them.

Sorry to hear about your illness by the way.

A doctor's view on cannabis isn't evidence, it's just an opinion. And those articles are reporting real scientific results not just interpreting them. Actually that doctor's quote is just an interpretation of the studies. Some of those studies actually provided evidence of cancer cells being killed not just halted.

still not everything must be true. the government/industry has brought up many studies which were wrong.....I hope the thing about killing cancer cells is true, if so, the world could get a better place. if not....damn
