Judy ate those bonbons to see if they would help her sleep. They did. But when you start messing around with drugs, no telling what else will happen. Something else did.
You’ve heard of Irritable Bowel Syndrome? Well in 1991, Judy got struck with a bout of what I call Unpredictable Bowel Syndrome. We attributed it to the stress of helping Mom during her battle with cancer, but it never resolved. It has been her constant companion for twenty-four years. We have not been able to figure out a direct correlation with anything; it strikes without warning, maybe once a day, maybe ten times a day.
Until now.
Judy has moved on from bonbons to a liquid solution infused with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the principal psychoactive constituent in cannabis). It’s easier to control the dose that way. She doesn’t need very much, and you can only halve a bonbon so many times. She doesn’t take it every night, but if she has trouble sleeping one night, she uses it the next. The unintended consequence of imbibing THC? Her unpredictable symptoms have totally gone away. This is strictly anecdotal, we don’t *know* that there is a direct connection, but maybe all her colon needed all these years was to get slightly stoned once in a while.
