I’ve read contradictory information about treating Crohn’s with pot. So looking for empirical, experience-based opinions. Does it work? What kind of strain (THC and CBD together or just CBD) works best? Thanks to all for your responses. FYI - I’ve had a J-pouch for 5 years, just got diagnosed with Crohn’s, will start (slow-acting) Stelara soon but dealing with cramps and pain now.

I assume your question is about symptom relief and not actually treating the disease itself. If you are in a medical marijuana State, speak to your GI about it. It’s not going to do anything about the inflammation (which hopefully the Stelara will treat) but could help with some of the other symptoms (cramps and pain) until the Stelara kicks in.
you should speak to someone with experience for sure. Marijuana actually has quite a bit of anti-inflammatory qualities. More the CBD side than the THC.
