I too have Crohn's disease and my recreational Marijuana use has no effect on it. Currently am on Humira and have never been healthier.
Would care to share your CBC numbers? I'm just curious.

Medical marijuana isn't legal where I live so Im sure you know much more about the strains than I.
For Crohn's patients, the way I understand it, it's purpose is to activate the canniboid receptors in your intestines which helps with the inflammation. Inflammation is a symptom of Crohn's so you're really only treating a symptom(the big symptom that causes most of the problems).
Whereas something like Humira/remecade is supposed to treat the cause (or what we know about the cause)
None of this is meant to downplay the effects of medicinal THC. I'm happy the OP is doing well now and happy Medicinal THC is available for Crohn's patients.
Here's the wiki about CB2 receptors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammatory_bowel_disease#Research

I have Crohn’s disease. I’m leaving for yet another colonoscopy now. What’s your best or worst colonoscopy story?
