So I've been taking cannabis infused coconut oil the since May 4th. I have seen a drastic reduction in blood (I wasn't bleeding badly but now it's practically none) I can't say if it is the cannabis oil or the sodium butyrate because I started them about two weeks apart from each other.

Anyway, my question is for some experienced users. I'm pretty much getting 'ditch weed' as it's only $120 an ounce, but I thought, something is better than nothing. The first time I did it I did not decarb the cannabis because it was going to be heated high enough to decarb while it was with the coconut oil. I took the whole amount during May but never felt any type of 'buzz' whatsoever. I decarbed the second batch just to see if that changed anything but it did not. I really don't care it I get a psychological effect from it, but it's actually making me think it's not working at all for my body since I'm not feeling any buzz. I'm starting to get a reverse placebo effect: since it's not 'stoning' me, ergo, it's also not helping my guts.

I did consume the oil (which used one ounce of material to make) over the course of about four weeks. I would have thought that would have been enough intake to notice something.

Hmm, i don't understand the question. It's really difficult to tell whether something has helped if you're in decent shape when you started it. it sounds like you had minimal symptoms and now they are more minimal. Maybe the symptoms were dissipating regardless of this stuff you've been doing. That's always the question.

I don't like MJ because it makes me tired, lazy and paranoid. Maybe i will try vaping to see if i notice any improvement. It seems like most people notice an improvement in mood and comfort but none in actual inflammation reduction.

What I am saying is I have no 'traditional' symptoms: buzzed, tired, lazy, paranoid, high, crunk, stoned, etc. etc. etc. I wondered at first if I was doing it right but I can't see messing it up on two batches.

Maybe you should try infusing it into coconut oil because it hasn't affected me neurologically one bit.

Maybe you've developed tolerance to cannabis? If so, it is normal with regular use.
Maybe your dose is not enough to feel the neurological effects.
Oral cannabis doesn't affect you like smoking or vaporizing in terms of the neurological effects. Smoking creates much more powerful and instant neurological effect.

Once i made a tincture with MJ and i didn't get any effects either. Luckily i used MJ I grew so I wasn't out any money.

From my understanding the edibles give a slightly different effect compared to smoking...I don't know if it aids with inflammation or not either since I started doing it when I develoed that fistula and had such bad constipation with frequency and felt so horrible in my anus and lady parts and the only thing that literally dulled all my pain was smoking it. It gives me breaks from going to the toilet and I smoke before bed cuz it helps me fall asleep and stay asleep all night which is huge for anyone let alone someone with chronic illness IMO and I started the Humira sometime after I was already smoking (which my GI knew and encouraged me to do what ever I needed to do) tylenol just added to the constipation so it wasn't an option.

My CD went into remission but I'm gonna say that likely had more to do with the Humira, I'll never know for sure but I'm just glad both Humira and mj have helped me the way they have.

I've been smoking it since I think around October of 2013 and have not developed an intolerance to mj....everyone's different of course.

Good luck Levi and I hope you get it figured out and let us know how it goes!!

Did you write this post after taking a whole lot of cannabis by any chance

No. I sometimes post while at work. I have two monitors and use one to quickly write something. I don't have much time so sometimes my posts have a stream of consciousness read to them and are littered with typos. I've gone back and corrected some of the typos in the original post. Thanks for noticing, though.

I will admit that I have been using cannabis for decades and when it went legal I went down to purchase some "high" quality edibles because all hear about is how wonderful and potent they are - I tried on my own like you with no results prior to this. Well I tried the recommended dosage for a regular user and no results, so the next time around I upped the anty and ate 3x the recommended dosage, still absolutely no affect on me whatsoever except that crappy taste in my mouth from the hash and a empty wallet to show for it. I found out that some people don't respond to eating cannabis and yes tolerance plays a role in that as well, but with 3x the dosage it should have done something, even if it was just a little. So I can't say if it is my tolerance or a simple fact that I'm one of the few that doesn't respond to the edibles, or my biggest thought, is it because I live with a poor digestive system, does UC prevent or doesn't absorb the cannabis through digestion. What I can say for sure is I purchased high grade Colorado edibles so it wasn't the process in which it was de-carbed or a low quality plant to start with.

Hahaha. I didn't think my post sounded that spaced out. Maybe the cannabis IS making me paranoid.

Woohoo it's working!!!
