Kim Holsapple says Crohn's Disease is like a little man who squeezes my insides as hard as he can. She's suffered from the debilitating condition for more than 30 years, and like most of the roughly 700,000 Americans affected by Crohn's, she is plagued by abdominal pain, cramps, and persistent diarrhea. Of course, the endless stomach pain eliminates her appetite, causing weight loss, fatigue, and even fever. All of these conditions are relieved by medical marijuana. Marijuana is the only thing that calms my intestines down, Kim said, and she's not the only one.
