marijuana and stomach problems

He's very right !

Hey, I have the EXACT same problem as you. I have been smoking weed since the age of 14 and I am 28 now. I have also been smoking HIGH GRADE WEED like Amnesia haze, Super Silver Haze, Cheese etc...... As far as I could remember smoking has always made me a little sick or given me an upset stomach. But for the past year or two it has been getting EXTREMELY BAD. I have been on all different types of medication from anti acids/anti depression/steroids.... My doctors had diagnosed me with IBS first and said that the symptoms are to do with my diet. Any way...

I tried so many different types of diets, none of them really worked. I even tried staying away from dairy products. Nothing worked...... I have had all the tests done from Colonoscopy to Endoscopy. The results where not conclusive. However the Colonscopy did show some very small ulcers, which the doctor said is nothing to worry about.

I personally have come to my own diagnoses and conclusion...... Please READ THIS PART VERY CAREFULLY!!!

When smoking weed, I would smoke it in a JOINT mixed with tobbaco. I would smoke around 5-6 joints a day. NOTE that these JOINTS do not have the same type of filters as cigarettes do. The filter used for my joints were just some thin cardboard paper rolled into a cylinder ( The same bit of card that you can rip off from the RIzzla/ZigZags/Raw rolling papers. )

I remeber when waking up in the morning I would have a massive ball of black TAR/Resin build up in the back of my throat. I would go to the toilet and spit it out. Once spat out, my throat would feel nice/clear/smooth.

Recently for the past 3 years I DO NOT have this build up of RESIN/TAR in the back of my throat when waking up in the mornings... Why is this ?? With hind sight I can say that my Digestive system is actually trying to FLUSH it down into my stomach and then into my small intestines and eventually ejected out and waste....

Okay....So, for me, this is where all the problems start. The bottom part of my intestines ( The part which is close to me penis ) gets extremely bloated to the point where I can't even pass wind. The only thing I could do is Belch and try to burp it out !!!!

What I am trying to say is that I think what seems to be happening is that the RESIN/TAR build up gets stuck in the small intestines and causes massive problems such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux blockages etc etc...

Beleive me when I tell you this... I SUFFER A LOT FROM THIS TO A POINT WHERE I CAN NOT SLEEP AT NIGHTS!! ( And Yes I still smoke weed )

I think after reading these posts, I will ADMIT IT and say Yes I think the problem is TO DO with excessive/unhealthy smoking lifestyle.

I will quit smoking from TONIGHT !! Wish me luck. I will keep you guys posted and tell you how I feel after a week of Non smoking.

Kinda regards

Tired of seeing stoners blindly defend marijuana as the miracle drug with no draw backs. Gonna try to stop smoking marijauna to see if it works for my gastritis. Quitting Cigs did wonders and the medicine is taking me no where so I'm willing to take a break.

Yes, it is called Canniboid Hyperemisis. I didn't begin to experience it until after a few years of pretty constant smoking and now if I smoke weed for more than a few days in a row, the stomach cramps start up, usually lots of dry heaving follows soon after. IV experienced that vaping the weed instead of smoking it helps alot of people and in some cases gets rid of the problem all together. Hope this helps! God knows I dont want anyone else going though what IV been through with it. So cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome is the thing to look up! Good luck to you!

i had a period of time in college that I was probably smoking about an 8th a day. I ended up in the hospital 3 times because I would be nauseous and throw up to the point of dehydration and then nonstop dry heaving. I had blood work done, an ultra sound and an endoscopy. Finally a doctor asked if I smoked pot and when I said yes he said it was something called Cannibinoid Hypermesis Syndrome. I'm not sure if I spelled that out. He said it's not really a thing yet and there's only been a fist full of case studies on it. I stopped smoking for about 6 months and was doing great. I started smoking again about 4 months ago and I'm now having acid reflux, bloating and upper stomach pains.

Glad to communicate with a worthwhile subject as "CHS". I'm 70 yrs old and smoking pot for 50 years now. CHS has been really getting to me. After a lot of testing I found that by using a Storz-Bickel, "Plenty" hand held vaporizor. I keep the temperature set between 320 degrees F, and 350 degrees F. Keep it very clean so the smoke is clean. I found that higher heat settings produce the toxic particles that upset my stomach. I can only smoke once a day and prefer before bed. Otherwise when I cheat I use Zantac or Prilosec or both until I desire a quiet stomach and stop smoking for a week only to start over and over. The smoke infiltrates all the surfaces it comes in contact with inside the body. For me it feels like it has toxins for my particular body. All bodies are different, good luck. My protocol is the biggest bang for least amount of stomach problems. I will always keep an open mind and just adjust to the truth of my path. Ha!!!! Good luck to everyone who reads this. David

I'm having really bad abdominal pain and I smoke, not sure if that the cause but every time I do smoke when I'm in pain or nauseous I feel so much better

I have the exact same problem as you do and i am only 19 :( !!! I took hits from the bong all night I didnt sleep and still smoked. I had no issues like that earlier..i have been smoking since 4 years all through my teenage and the ulcers really gotten worse...

Personally I've started smoking weed and it seems to me and my mates that, we all have different ways of excreting if you would say, the excess weed? In my case I have severe stomach pains and aches in my body and my friends have either ear ache or night sweats. I feel like this is common to most people

I have been smoking pot since i was 15.. i quit only during the pregnancies and breastfeeding but took it back up again after.
You know.. when the baby finally falls asleep you can go outside and smoke a joint lol..
Im 40 now and ive smoked it everyday. . About 2-3 cones every few hours.
I have major depression atm and PTSD from traumatic events thats happened in my life and the struggles i still face today and its honestly saved my life BUT .. im sick.. i know im really sick :(. I get terrible pains in the stomach. . Bloating...
I am so nauseated i dont get hungry anymore and when i do try to eat something the firsr few mouthfuls make me very overwhelmingly sick and i have to give myself time. I dont smoke ciggaretts and i smoke my pot raw.
I have a crackle in my lungs and really shortness of breath. I have a few puffs on my athsma pump and it gets better.
First thing in the mornings i vomit and because I have nothing in my stomach i dry reach a lot but if i do spew anything up its got tar in it.. exactly the same stuff i cough up.
The stuff i cough up is so bad.. i feel light headed because of my chest and bloating.
My bowels give me really bad pains.
Ive had an upper ultrasound and lower ultrasound and get results in 2 days.
Im going to ask her to check my lungs and order a camera down into my stomach to see how much black stuff is in there.
I actually feel so close to death buy yet without pot i would be thinking of harming myself and panicking about silly things.
It gives me motivation and creativity, lets me see situations from above.
I puffed it to give me a pick me back up and it does for about an hour then i start to get tired again.. its a viscous circle.
I smoke it to loose weight because when i first smoke it i cant eat anything for about an hour but im bad and instead of eating i just smoke more pot.
I use to be nervous to be around people when i had a few puffs so i played reverse psychology with myself and started having one before I go to an appointment or when i had to be social.
Now i dont have that fear anymore.
The laws are tough here and i hardly drive anymore because they do drug tests that you still get in trouble days later. Its so dumb!
Im so nervous to think its worse for my health than i realised.
The world says so many good things about it i got a bit carried away lol

Thanks for the advice

Clean your piece, and don't buy cheap glass pipes from china.

Full spectrum enzymes, pro biotics, and plant derived organic trace minerals is the formula.

Quit now before its too late man! I smoked for 5 years until I was 19 and quit 7 months ago and havent touched it since, it was the best decision I ever made, I was smoking up to 2.5grams a day. My life has taken a massive turn in the right direction I used to get the severe nausea, always bloated, Acid reflux etc its a horrible way to live. Once you quit you will realise that smoking pot wrecks every aspect of your life and most importantly your physical health AND mental health. All the problems go away with time.. within 2 weeks you will start to feel sooo much better and its all up-hill from there. Also stop hanging out with the people who are involved with it, if they cant quit with you forget about them. Smoking friends arent real friends even if they were before you started smoking, over time you will come to realize this and accept the reality. Good luck everyone, I cured myself and I know you all can too!

I have the same issues, wouldn't that show up in a colonoscopy or endoscopy?
