@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.

Yes I have tried all that to not avail. I believe it’s bc I’m on Lyrica also. Both slow down nerve transmission speed and that includes nerves that have to do with bowel motility. I’m just using sm amt of cannabis gummy at bedtime but it still constipates over the next few days. I’ve just started drinking Marshmellow loose tea which instructions say should steep in warm water for three hrs. And served warm not hot. The next day I stew two prunes and they work.
Fiber makes my constipation worse I found, because the nerves do not respond to it.
