I have gastroparesis, a disease in which your stomach has a very difficult time digesting food and often leaves you either with extreme nausea or vomiting undigested chunks of food. It also comes with severe stomach cramps (nearly every day for me) and your diet is extremely limited. Without the use of marijuana I can only eat maybe 1/2 peanut butter sandwich a day, though I can usually drink as much as I want.
Obviously, this sucks! I had smoked herb for a while before I got diagnosed with gastroparesis but had quit for about 3 years prior. Upon diagnosis and a 10-day-no-food-at-all stay in the hospital, I went home and lit up a bowl and could eat about a normal sized meal (which for me is A LOT of food). Without pot, I’d probably only weigh about 85 lbs (I’m 5′) but with it I’ve been able to keep my weight at around 105. This is an amazing plant and I love it now even more than I did before!
I use cannabis to help with my bipolar disorder. I rapid cycle and the drugs that the doctors had me on before were horrible. I was catatonic most of the time. I had no emotion, no feelings, and just existed.
About 3 years ago I read about how someone used it to treat BPD. I have been off the harmful drugs with the very bad side effects ever since. I smoke about a 1/2 a bowl each night and as needed if I slip into a mania. My cycles are fewer and fewer between.
