When people fight for medical marijuana, crohns disease is huge on the list for people we want to help. Crohns causes nausea and an inability to eat, among other things. Marijuana alleviates that nausea and simultaneously works as an appetite inducer (heard of the munchies?).
If you want to hate on druggies, fine, but this instance is the equivalent of hating a diabetic taking their medicine.

When a diabetic takes there medication there is dose specific instructions, quanity and purity are regulated and meet strict standards for intake. What is the recommend dosage for pot intake for Crohns? There is none because pot does not try and even meet the same standards applied to medicine and medication. Hell whole wheat bread has more stringent standards than pot and you want to call pot a medication. This is what pisses me off the most claiming it is medicine while not holding to the same strict high standards applied to medication. What medication do you know that can dispensed by high school drop out that goes by the name moonbeam?
Fucking insult to peoples intelligence.

What's the recommended insulin intake for a type 2 diabetic? Oh shit, that recommended dose changed for a 100 pound 80 year old woman versus a 400 pound 17 year old man?! Oh my god, all of medicine must be myth!
