Does anyone have any successful way to deal with the constipation that cannabis causes me? THC absolutely stopped bowel peristalsis in my case and I cannot get it going again.

Try taking fish oil capsules. They’re good for everything. I’ve taken them for 13 yrs 5x1000’s it was taken for cholesterol and it has been terrific. Olive oil. Fish oil at Costco 300x1000 $10. Apples. Oatmeal is my go to. I make special oatmeal. Use really coarse ground thick oats. Little milk and brown sugar. Don’t get stuff in envelopes. your dr should be helping you with something daily. But try to find some food item or type with lots of fiber. Anything that gives you diarrhea will work. Then diet might be more helpful. Small bottle of magnesium citrate will send you to your porcelain throne fairly quickly. They used to use it for barium tests. Good luck and I hope everything comes out in the end!

@irr4et your complaint is surprising as research has shows cannabis has the opposite effect on most people. Have you considered adjusting your diet with more roughage and fiber? That would be my initial avenue of investigation and not medicine or mag citrate. Also increasing your fluid intake and exercise are also good ways to stimulate your GI system.
