My worst triggers are meat/dairy and stress mixed with heat/humidity. I have anxiety and depression which I have medical marijuana to help with, it's VASTLY reduced my outbreaks, even when I don't eat the way I'm supposed to.

Members shared diverse experiences with medical marijuana for managing HS symptoms, with several finding significant relief from pain and inflammation through CBD oil, gummies, vaping, and homemade products, while one member noted that stopping marijuana worsened their condition due to loss of its anti-inflammatory benefits. Many members emphasized that dietary triggers vary widely by individual, with some finding meat and dairy problematic while others identified sugar and carbs as their main culprits, leading to creative solutions like grinding lean meats at home and using chronometer apps to track nutrition. A recurring theme was the importance of sourcing quality cannabis grown in clean soil to avoid toxins, with some members advocating for homegrown options and expressing frustration over restrictive legal access that limits treatment choices.

@A myHSteam Member. You’d get extradited to US for drug trafficking. Drug laws are no joke here.

@A myHSteam Member, @A myHSteam Member. I just wish the religious fanatics and do gooders would stop controlling everybody else so that I could have access to gummies or whatever I need time to time. We can’t get more than a Tylenol or aspirin in USA. Ridiculous!

Where it is grown is important. Marijuana plants clean the soil of toxins, old pesticides etc. The plant uptakes the toxins. They considered growing it to clean up toxins in agriculture areas. Rice does that too. Rice takes up arsenic in the bran. But if marijuana sucks up lots of stuff out of the soil it seems it would suck up a lot of healthy minerals and nutrients as well. Guess just have to watch where it is planted. Mankind needs to catch up to the science and create a better planet instead of exploitation. There is so much knowledge not being used for betterment. Wish there was a way for mankind to not think of everything in terms of money profits. I don’t like what smoking does to the lungs either. They just need to make a marijuana derm patch. 🤣
