I have a cousin that has Crohns. I was playing with the idea of suggesting mmj to my cousin to help her son with his Chrons.

My questions:

1) how helpful is mmj with Crohns? (another words, Do you get Pain relief? or is the appetite stimulant the part that helps, so you can eat and not get sick? or some combination or other relief? )

2) How do you get the best relief? Smoking? edibles? Vaping?

I want to approach my cousin with this, but her son is only 16. I normally against kids use of MMJ, but as a medicine and knowing even if I suggest it, this will be an uphill battle.. I think edibles will be easiest, but his list of foods he can eat are so limited it's a wonder he is still with us at all. Anyway I know this kid well and if I suggest this it will not be well accepted, but knowing how he has to live with this the rest of his life, and the cost of meds he has to take, I wonder if mmj wouldn't help reduce the number of meds he is taking now? It is a quality of life issue I have to make him understand.
