Hello everyone, I have been smoking marijuana regularly for the past 2 years. I had to stop smoking during the last week because I travelled to go visit some of my relatives and where I am right now I wouldnt know how to score any. I have noticed that since I stopped smoking ( it's day number 6 now) I am suffering from chronic diarrhea. My question is if it is possible that it could somekind of marijuana withdrawal symptom or is it something I am eating here? Sorry for the bizzare topic. It's just that I wanted to be sure wether it's the marijuana or not before seeking proffessional help. Thank you in advance for your answers.
The discussion starter is a marijuana smoker who experienced diarrhea after he tried to stop smoking cannabis. Surprisingly (or not) this unusual problem has bee reported by many others who joined the discussion. The member who replied first told that his friend suffered severe abdominal pain for a week or so after quitting marijuana, but he wasn't sure if stopping smoking would cause diarrhea for such a long time as the discussion starter reported. He also gave a word of advice:
Any diarrhea that lasts longer than 7 days should be checked.
The same member added that if diarrhea is the only symptom, then the stomach flu was probably out of the question since the stomach flu would include other symptoms, such as weakness, fatigue, fever, and maybe even vomiting. He pointed out that the food might be the cause, and not cannabis, giving the advice that if the problem persists, the discussion starter should see a doctor.
The member who joined the next reported the same problem that started and persisted for two weeks after he decided to quit smoking marijuana. He had diarrhea every morning after waking up, and he would be fine for the rest of the day. He took Imodium that prevented him from having a bowel movement for one day. He decided to see a doctor, but he was too embarrassed to mention cannabis as a possible cause. Many who joined the discussion reported having a problem with diarrhea after trying to quit marijuana but weren't sure about the mechanisms that may have caused it.
Marihuana is absorbed everywhere especially in your small intestine.
Many others tried to explain the connection between cannabis and gastrointestinal disturbances, as the member who gave the statement above. One member said that diarrhea can be caused by all sorts of things and that the problems such as particular foods and potential food poisoning should be ruled out first. He added that a fever is the best indicator of food poisoning. He also advised that if diarrhea lasts more than three days with no probable cause, anyone with this problem should see a medical professional, particularly if there are other symptoms, such as blood in the stool.
Another participant told that the "ganja" stimulates the appetite, metabolism, and digestive function, which all change when one tries to quit.
I would definitely agree that the cause of the diarrhea is likely your body trying to flush the toxins out of its system.
As mentioned in several posts, if you're an everyday marijuana smoker who's tapering off or quitting, it's natural for your body to want to flush itself of toxins and foreign substances, particularly from the small intestine, where the majority of cannabinoids are absorbed. One member added that he heard of marijuana-related diarrhea lasting from a few days to a few weeks.
Part of the problem may also be due to intestinal motility.
According to one participant in the discussion, THC has been shown to produce a calming effect on the small bowel muscles of mice, which may be a reason why IBS and IBD patients often use marijuana as a relief.
Another member reported not only diarrhea but also a weight loss caused by a lack of appetite (apparently a result of trying to quit marijuana cold turkey). The same member also reported sleeping problems.
In several cases reported in this discussion, the cause of diarrhea was IBS that has been diagnosed.
What do experts say?
Marijuana is the most commonly abused illicit drug in the world. Many countries and U.S. states have legalized the use of both medicinal and recreational marijuana, with more that may join in the future. Because of this, the misconception that marijuana is not addictive continues to spread. However, the truth is that marijuana can cause an addiction. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 10 Americans who use cannabis will become addicted. If you stop using it, you may experience withdrawal symptoms.
Diarrhea has been reported by many who smoke marijuana, especially by those who tried to quit, not only in this discussion but all over the Internet. According to a study from the last year, cocaine, heroin, and other commonly abused drugs are not the only causing withdrawal symptoms. Many heavy marijuana users may experience withdrawal symptoms while trying to kick the habit. Stomach problems, including diarrhea, have been listed as some of the common cannabis withdrawal symptoms.
When trying to end an addiction, many try to quit cold-turkey, which can be effective for some, while for the others this method can lead to very serious side effects. According to some research, marijuana is not an ideal candidate for the cold-turkey method.
Marijuana contains chemicals called cannabinoids which affect the central nervous system, including the brain and nerves. It makes sense then that the main symptoms of marijuana withdrawal are mental, including:
- Irritability
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Sleeping problems
- Headache
- Restlessness
- Shakiness
- Loss of appetite, leading to weight loss and even anorexia
Marijuana withdrawal symptoms can also affect other body systems, causing:
- Fever
- Chills
- Extreme sweating
- Tiredness during the day
- Stomach pain
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
It is believed that the longer a person uses marijuana, the more likely they are to have withdrawal symptoms when they stop using it.
Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome
Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) is a condition that leads to repeated and severe bouts of vomiting and usually occurs in people who uses cannabis (e.g. marijuana), especially those who use it regularly.
Besides vomiting, this condition may also cause:
- Nausea
- Stomach pain
- Weight loss due to a decreased appetite
- Dehydration
- Diarrhea
- Thirst
- A dry mouth
The symptoms of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome are usually relieved after taking a hot shower or bath, or after stopping smoking marijuana.
What to do when you have diarrhea?
There are some general rules on how to treat and relieve diarrhea, no matter what caused it. These include:
- Stay hydrated - Your body loses water with each trip to the bathroom. If you lose too much, you can get dehydrated. Drink clear liquids such as water, broth, or fruit juice during the day to stay hydrated.
- Eat bland, low-fiber foods until you feel better - Doctors often suggest the BRAT diet, which stands for Bananas, Rice (white), Applesauce, and Toast.
- Use over-the-counter medicines - Medications such as loperamide (Imodium) and Pepto-Bismol can help relieve the symptoms
- Call your doctor - Get medical help f your diarrhea doesn't go away after 48 hours, or if there are other symptoms such as stomach pain, fever or blood in the stool.
Discussion highlights
What side effects of marijuana withdrawal have been reported?
- it causes me a nasty morning nausea.
- making sometimes me allmost 2 vomit.
- I have been an avid smoker for over a year, over this last month or two of trying to quit I've come up with about a week of not smoking which has resulted in diarrhea quit often.
- Other effects: mood swings, by 11am if I haven't smoked I start to get light headed, sometimes I wont eat until 5 or 6 at night, I have yet to eat today and its almost 2 am and i've been up sice 9 am.
- its only been a day without weed for me and my stomach hurts to mad to leave my house!
- Within the past year or so, I can't smoke much of it at all without getting really sick in the morning (vomiting and diarrhea), and feel almost like a drinking hangover- dizzy, nauseos, etc.
- Since stopping smoking I have had chronic diarrhea going on a week now.
- Well, a friend of mine suffered severe abdominal pain for a week or so after quitting marijuana but I can’t say if it would cause diarrhea for such a long time.
- Mine involed 1 night where i woke up drenched in sweat, then the next day i just couldnt sleep and had a panic attack/dizzy spell that i never really got better with.
- It took 5 weeks and i was still up and down really bad, which led me to try the anti depressants for a bit of stability.
- So maybe it does really take people months to fully recover, i have been over 2 months and well yeah i am still not 100% but pretty much just get spells of anxiety and depression.
- he didnt relize it was the weed first but after 5 weeks of constantly throwing up and having diahrea and not eating anything(he had lost about 3-4 stone) he was looking really really bad.
- he aslo said he had all the other syptoms that wnet with it too, really bad depression, couldnt sleep or stay asleep, felt really low etc etc.
- Besides anxiety and depression I've had severe diarrhea since day 1.
- LOl, so i just searched this up on google, because i have been smokin weed for the past 2 month everyday many times a day and i started having the same problem, bu i never stoped smoking it.
- Jus tthe mourning after i smoke i usually get extracted from my sleep by my body that need s to go to the toile and i sit there for like 20 mins waiting for it to be over.
- I have noticed that since I stopped smoking ( it's day number 6 now) I am suffering from chronic diarrhea.
- Anyway during the first few days I would get the most severe diareah, which it appears to be parasites.
- I actually started getting these problems from the weed(and lack of it) AFTER I had a major overdose on XTC (mdma and speed) I also have heard others get the same problem.
- It basically feels like your heart is exploding or getting very TIGHT when you smoke.
- I have had the usual chronic diareah/parasites.
- Just headaces and insomina at the most.
- I have also tried organic weed though too, and I still got problems after stopping, but thats prob because of all the other bad weed I smoked before that.
- I not only had severe diareah.
- but I was puking non stop, to the point to where I started choking on it.
- I couldn't breath and was seeing colors, and was about to pass out.
- I filled up THREE small garbage cans full of puke that night.
- I was extremely dehydrated, but kept drinking water to stay alive.
- I also drank 3 gallons of water total that night, ironically.
- But I know I puked it all up anyway.
- So, I was very close to death as I couldnt get any air in.
- I was almost literally choking to death.
- All from not having any weed.
- I feel I had a bad liver ever since the overdose.
- I think I had a minor case of cirrhosis, as my ankle has been swollen and my abdomen fills up with liquid sometimes, and I pretty much have all the symptoms of cirrhosis.
- I have diarrhoea virtually every time I consume cannabis.
- I have IBS anyway and it dies help with the painful cramping, at a cost -- diarrhoea!
- Dear OP As a regular user/quitter I've found that quitting after long runs of daily use, gives me the following withdrawalsymptoms: Mild insomnia and chronic diarrhea for up to a month.
- When I stop (is usually because I ran out) I may feel a bit warm/ feverish, diarrhea, maybe a little sour in the stomach etc.
- I basically just feel like I have a low level flu/ cold.
- This sounds bad, but its not so much as liquid but very light in color and very soft, so compact diarrhea basicly but thats at best.
- I might have it bad, since for the next week im in canada with my mother, no weed and nothing to smoke out of.
- But every other day before I left I smoked, and ive been having diarrhea for over a week.
- And today more then ever since i havnt smoked for over 24 hours now.
- My plane flight sucked, out of a total of 6 hours on both planes i had to go like 3 times, twice at airports and now that im at a friends ive already gone 5 times and only got her after 6 and its 2:30 now.
- In 4 days all I have eaten is one slice of pizza, half a chicken breast and a Payday candy bar.
- I have no appetite and as I look through the pantry, fridge and freezer NOTHING sounds appealing.
- Additionally I have lost about 5-6 pounds over the 4 days and I have had diarrhea even though I'm not really eating anything.
- I've never been a great sleeper but I can see a little difference there as well.
- maybe missing another 2 hours of solid sleep and lots of crazy ass dreams.
- I don't really feel bad but just not myself physically.
- Now, the worst hangovers.
- Until about two years ago, when every morning I'd wake up with extreme abdominal pain and have diarrhea a minimum of 4 to a maximum of maybe 12 times before it would taper off in the afternoon.
- This was literally every day.
- Over the past couple months I've regressed into my chronic smoking mode and the troubles with my gut are starting to reoccur.
- I'm not saying that the relaxation of the digestive tract caused by MJ is not the culprit here but think about this.
- Some growers use chemical fertilizers and pesticides that are considered safe because they are tested for ingestion not inhalation.
- I have smoked weed for some 35 years, and can tell you that I have frequent diarrhea when Im smoking daily, almost like I have IBS, mostly after I eat.
- I have quit several times and within about a week I get constipated to the point of needing to take stool softners.
- I've gone almost three days without getting hungry and forcing myself to eat (ANY portion of food, large or small) was a hell of a challenge.
- Of course, that was from heavy, daily smoking for a while.
- I also feel constipated when i have to go to the washroom, and after constipation, comes diarea.
- I have had a severe loss of appetite, stomach pains, diarrhea, and insomnia.
- %-) Furthermore, I have had hot flashes and nausea at times.
- Yea I get diarhea regular but i smoke 7grams a day.
- Ive been stopped a week and my diarhea is worse now.
- I have had diarhea for the past week stopped smoking for 4 days now but heavy smoking for about a week.
- The want to eat has also completly dissappeared where no type of food sounds good or even appitizin.
- hmmmmmm that never happened to me and i stop every now and the and never get diarrhea but i always seem to get it the day after regardless of whether i eat a shitload of food or a little or none and its pissing me off.
- Diarreah is a symptom of withdrawl.
- At the moment I have stopped smoking constantly since 3 days ago and my diarrah is still there.
- Very watery but doesn't hurt.
- Just annoying and my appetite is gone.
- I've also experienced cold sweats at night and irregular sleeping.
- I don't remember my dreams at the moment but as soon as the thc exits my body like it did the last time I quit I experienced remembering my dreams.
- I've also experienced a hieghtend emotional state coming off of it.
- Maybe a little hostile and losing some sorts of selfcontrol at times.
- Hi guys i've been having diarrhea for the past 1/2 weeks i smoke atleast a dime's worth every 1 or 2 days , idk if i should go see a doctor by now?
- i eat alot durring the day, but when i use the bathroom it takes me 3-5min to ''poop' XD ~ and when i do it looks like rabits poop, ;/ im worrie , someone please help~ !
- I'm on day 4 of my T-Break, and experienced diarrhea the last two mornings. I saw somewhere that along with being stored in fat cells, THC is also stored in the intestines, so your body is flushing it out.
- It also seems after it happens--the first morning being the worst--- my other symptoms recede more and more (less headache, more appetite, sleepier nights).
- Day 2 and 3 I felt nauseated, feel better now, but still feel anxious here and there.
- It's been a week now and I'm still sh**ting like there is no tomorrow.
- In fact I am going to go take a sh*t as soon as this post is done and I just went to the washroom like 45 minutes back.I have a fast metabolism and take about 3 sh**s a day on marijuana, now that I've been off it, I sh*t up to 6 - 8 times a day.
- I'm 27 and have been smoking bud since I was 11 (3 8ths a week) and stopped for 5 days so far, I had diarrhoea for the first few days but I've stopped drinking and trying to eat properly, the diarrhoea has stopped now, I still can't sleep and I have paranoia tho!
- severe stomach pains.
- i find it very hard to get an apetite when i dont smoke.
- i find it very hard to sleep when i dont smoke.
- i suffer from anxiety specially when im under pressure or "worried".
- i wake up most days needing to poop and its never just your standard log its always like rabbit poo's,runny poo's and squidgy poo's lol.
- Having read everyone else's comments i feel a very back to front weed smoker, I get chronic diarrhoea only when smoking, but I lose weight when smoking as I lose my appetite but as soon as I stop smoking weed my appetite comes back.
- I used to smoke only during the evenings and I almost always had a diarrhea like morning session at the toilet, the rest of the day it was fine.
- The last weeks that I used it my stomach started to feel irritated too 24h a day.
- The first days I also suffered from incredible drops in energy level after eating sugarrich products.
- Since then I've had diarrhoea.
- I have stopped smoking weed 2 weeks and 3 days and i have the sh**s agen.
- I had it the first 3 days and i have them agen starting yesterday its horrible.
- I also have anxitey probs wich come and go as they please it nasty
- iv been smoking 9yrs now an stoped 4 3days n got shitings wut can i take 4 this sum one help plz
- I've eaten pot laced food on a few occasions at a friend's house and both times i've had massive diarrhea a few days after i don't smoke pot but i was wondering if there's some kind of connection or if my stomach is just acting weird
- I feel the same way, not myself, not hungry, plus real CRAZY dreams.
- Ditto Cos,Years with no problem then I get it like You.It took me years to figure out my mourning cramps ,feeling like throwing up,diarrhea ,was from weed,unreal.After I'd stop it takes me anywhere from 3 to 7 days to clear out and have no problem .Note,this happens to me though when I'm smoking regular.If I stop it all clears up in a few days.Completely gone!
- Otherwise , bothers me in the A.M when I need to c**p.By about 11a.m to noon I'm feeling normal,it clears.If Im only smoking 1-2 x a month no problem,its when I've been toking daily for over a couple months.So Some of You will know Your not alone,hope my post helps.Oh,if I had a long 10-12hr work day the day before and just drank water,somthing I do often,no symptons.
- Couldn't eat, felt nautious, extreme diahreea, you name it.
- It took me about 4-5 days to get a normal, solid poop.
- The extreme diahreea usually subsides for me after about the third day.The bacteria posts above really shed light on the issue because many times, the stool is nothing.
- very small amounts of very small, a lot of the time liquidy stuff and you can actually see they look like little strands of bacteria.
- I'll be the first to admit to a group of strangers that I thought there wouldn't be any withdraw symptoms however after the first day I realized irritability, misplaced anger, obsessive thoughts, nausea and extremely loose diarrhea are DEFIANTLY withdraw symptoms for me.
- I've stopped smoking 5 days ago and the past three days I haven't had one solid movement.
- It's not like I'm on the toilet every five minutes, the trips are still regular, but the firmness of my bowel movements is definitely not.
- Today has been the worst as I went twice in ten minutes, felt a little nauseous afterwards, but jumped Ina warm bath and am now feeling quite ok.
- During the trip I experienced crazy diarrhea.
- But now after trying to stop here at home and experiencing similar symptoms, I have concluded that the diarrhea is a withdrawal symptom in my case.
- Also like some other users mentioned, I experience crazy restless dreams.
- Interesting I only have been experiencing the mushy sh**s when I consume (I rather eat in biscuits or brownies as I really do not like butting snoke of any sort down my lungs).
- I always get diarrhea after the 3-4 day of quitting, it's deff not the flu kinda or stomach virus, and I've had it last about a week before.
- Hi guys thank god i found this thread, ok let me tell you my story im 25 and i started smoking when i was 15, i stopped when i was 20 (i met a new girl she hated it) i got off it the first time generally ok apart from the anger, loss of appetite etc.
- Anyways i didnt smoke for four years and i was grand no problems, i broke up with my gfriend 8 months ago and started smoking heavily again like 4 grams every two days (i dnt like tobacco so i only smoke bongs) But in the last 2 months i got back with my gfriend sec time around she didnt mind me smoking it, it was going good until about two months ago, weirdly when i smoked i got super sensitive about my heart and lungs ( every little twinge id freak out and ruined my buzz) two days ago i decided enough was enough so i stopped smoking again, this time around ive got bad diarrhea and loss off apetite, and it freaked me out, anyways is their anyone on here that smokes only bongs no tobacco thats coming off it and having the same symtoms Thanks and good luck to anyone tryin to quit
- I've been smoking for a few years and everytime i go a few days without the herb, instant diarrhoea and anxiety for me.
- I'm a weed smoker and I get diarrhia the day after I smoke so I just eat something with strch and my problem is fixed
- I've smoked MJ for 3 years pretty regularly, but for the past month or so I have been waking up at 6am like clockwork with chronic diarrhea.
- I can never eat breakfast because I have no appetite.
- Some days I can eat a small lunch but even then I'm still taking numerous trips to el banó at work.
- I'm nearly on my third week of quitting and damn the first 2 were hard my heart would flutter then my hands went numb and make me think i was having a heart attack and need to get out the room And start pacing the house , damn I even went and kissed the kids goodbye when they were sleeping because I thought i was at deaths door !
- Now the anxiety has subsided well the heart dosnt flutter now but I get the fast beating heart now and again , now I'm nearly on week 3 I find that I can't sleep and starting to feel really sick and have serious diorehea , go really warm then shiver , iv smoked weed for about 10 years I'm 27 now and would b stoned from morning till night anytime I felt really low I just read forums and usually makes the feelings go away , hopefully I'm nearing the end of my withdrawal as this is the worst feeling iv ever felt and I'm definitely not smokin weed ever again.
- (Day4) of diarrhea.
- I wouldn't say it's consistent tho.
- Only 2-3 times a day but I get regular poop's too
- For me it's completely different after I smoke hash or weed the next morning it's like explosive crazy c**p.
- I get diarrhea, anxiety, hot flashes, sweats and irritability when I quit smoking marijuana for about 20 hours, it starts.
- I quit several times for a few days and the same symptoms return over and over so I know without a doubt it is marijuana withdrawal.
- I'm having the same issue, I quit about 5 days ago and since about my 2nd or 3rd day off its been bad.
- I usually smoke Marijuana but recently like a hour or two after smoking I get really bad diarrhea.
- I usually only get it when after I smoke Tho.
- I have the chills, diarrhea,shakes, high anxiety and feelings of doom.
- Six or seven days cold turkey after ~6 years of regular daily smoke just to dry out for a time and my stool has become increasingly softer until yesterday and today my gut is gurgling like a loud drain and tonight watery stool.
- Had one weird dream yesterday during an impromptu nap (don't normally nap) which was quite vivid and normally I sleep with no recollection of any dreams.
- And I've had liquid sh*t for a week.
- Mood, and appetite are normal but liquid sh**s are not.
- I am currently experiencing every withdrawal symptom known to man for quitting including diarrhea nausea after eating headaches loss of appetite tremors sweating insomnia if its on the list im going through it.
- Well, I got it but I think it's given me the big D!
- Been smoking medMJ for about 3 weeks now.
- I smoke about 3 small j's a day and I have noticed my BM has become softer and softer over time and today, it was almost like D.
- I smoke regularly for a year stopped for about a month and only smoked a couple times in the last week and have such diarrhea.
- Every time I try to quit I get severe diarrhea.
- Quit over a month and a half ago and have had loose stool's ever since.
- For the first month after quitting I was really emotional and irritable.
- I have noticed i have nausea and diarrhea when i stop, but normally only the first couple of days
- I have also watery poo, almost like a milkshake.
- This started day 3 after quitting cold turkey and has been going on for a week now.
- I eat once a day since i quit.
- I have also all other symptoms including vivid dreams, anxiety, panic attacks, tremors, cold and hot sweating.
- I've now decided to try and stay off it, 5 days in now and I'm still running to toilet.
- I went to the store and got some CBD it's a one-to-one ratio.
- I have had severe explosive diarrhea for the past 15 days.
- now i have to take dump 2 to 4 times a day .
- felt like everything flushed out on the first time .
- but then again that urge and a lot of sh*t to discharge again.
- I had to go take sh*t even after taking lunch.
- if i go on normal diet its normal and if i dine out have junk, it again appears.
- But for me it's that I just don't eat that much for the first 4 days that I quit.
- (Sometimes I don't eat anything the first two days, which is terrible, but I can't hold anything down.) I sweat a lookout and since I only drink fluids, in guessing that's all that comes out.
- I do notice that even when I eat a bit more, I still have duahrea but it calms down.
- For me it starts going away on that fourth day, the thing that gets me the most is Nausea.
- I also quit smoking for the first time in about 2 years because of an employment drug test, it’s day 3 right now and I’ve basically been glued to the toilet all day.
- Weed made it better for like 15 minutes, then made me puke and poop myself from my 193lbs 10% body fat down to maybe 150lbs.
- It only lasts a day or two though.
- After I stop taking it, I get hyper, insomnia, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and will vomit even a single bite of food.
- The first time it happened, it was so bad I lost 50 lbs in about a month because even when I could eat, I just wasn't interested.
What medicines have been prescribed to relieve the symptoms?
- I have been prescribed anti depressants and they have cleared up alot of symptoms, I am posting reallt to say again, i quitt cold turkey( i say cold turkey but i was never really heavy and had lots of spells where i had nights of etc etc) only after 3 weeks of quitting did my syptoms show up, so beware that it might take a month before you experience any other syptoms.
- I took immodium hoping that it would solve my problem, but it just prevent me from having a bowel movement for one day.
- I started my research to find a cure, and only had limited success with things like immodium and Pepto bismol, culminating in a visit to the emergency room where I was offhandedly diagnosed (after a finger in the ass) with IBS and given a referral to a specialist.
- I have quit several times and within about a week I get constipated to the point of needing to take stool softners.
- so she perscribed me buscupan which is for IBS.
- I am also a regular pot smoker and recently have started treatment with an antibiotic called Xifaxan.
- It’s in any cvs or rite aid Is called IBGARD
- It took 5 weeks and i was still up and down really bad, which led me to try the anti depressants for a bit of stability.
- Basically he had to have all tests done to check it wasnt IBS or other stomach related problems, basically it was all to do with the weed, after taking anti depreessants for 9 months he was 100% better after 3 months of taking them, he still had to have a camera up his arse, But afetr all his syptoms cleared after a couple fo months his stomach and diahrea went away.
- My advice however whatever your own situation with diarrhoea is, plese don't forget to keep yourself hydraded by drinling rehydration drinks such as Gatoraide or even Pedialite.
- it dident help but it manages to keep the stomach cramps and pains at a tolerable level.
- I was hooked on alcohol, tramadol, anything that was about.
- Same principle as people who chronically take laxatives and develop constipation when they stop.
- Or people who chronically take constipation causing meds, like opioids, develop diarrhea after stopping the opioid (like codeine or morphine).
- If you find yourself with diarrhea after stopping marijuana, try a tiny amount of codeine.
- Not enough to constipate but to counter the diarrhea.
- Codeine with Tylenol is not as controlled as other opioids (no special scripts or databases before prescribing.
- Whatever meds they put me on stopped my smoking of weed, cigarettes and drinking.
- And, if you are in uniquely bad pain nausea and weightloss are better than immediate death that other pain killers are often responsible for.

In conclusion
Diarrhea can be a symptom of marijuana withdrawal, but also of other medical conditions. It is important to visit a doctor to get a proper diagnosis, especially if diarrhea lasts for more than 2 days or if it includes other symptoms.
