marijuana smoking and liver damage?

I have exactly identical symptoms I am the same age too. This is exactly what I am going through and I am a pot smoker as well. I thought no way could it be the pot but after seeing others suffering the same issues with they're livers and being pot smokers too that has got to mean something.

Yes I have been smoking it everyday for a couple of years now and I have been having troubles with my liver. Iv seen far too many posts from cannabis users that have liver function problems for it to be coincidence. Doctors aren't allowed to say it is the weed cuz like everyone else on here are pointing out "there's no proof". But my experience is proof enuff that chronic cannabis smoking does or can damage your liver!!!

hi i agree 100 percent with you I am also researching marijuana and found the info .you post is true about marijuana causing heart attacks. so marijuana can do more harm than good and like cigarettes it does cause cancer of the lungs and that i also stumble across this page and surprised at some of the stuff i read so please think about it the life you save may be your own.

I have smoked pot for 51 years, and have had the HCV for 38 years. My liver is at stage 1. I believe smoking mmj will do more good than bad.

My husband needs a liver transplant the doctors said they won't put him on the list because he tested positive for marijuana even if he goes to read and gets clean. He's not a daily smoker it wouldn't take long but their answer was if he got a new liver and dmokrs again it we would ruin that liver. Is that true he has never drank the damage isn't from drinking or drugs. ?

That's a lie marijuana is a drug overdosing and just plain using it a lot causes medical issues and can kill

I have liver damage due to a anti depressant and I do smoke marijuana just in the evenings it helps with sleep and pain due to pain and my eating all my blood work is great other then my ggt is 94 with worries me I DON'T DRINK Booze since last Sept

why am I GETTING THE one and only answer that been given to other ppl

Smoking marijuana is good for health .and it should be legalized in the entire world...

I do have fatty liver diesease i font drink and dont smoke cig but i do smoke about a zone of dro every 2 weeks i think cannabis is the main cause of my liver damage cause after everytime i smoke my liver is very irritated

So i stopped smoking weed for one year do too probation ! So the first time i stopped my liver started hurting really bad then the next day it was gone but i just got out of probation couple weeks ago and i smoke a joint and then stopped again for a whole week but after the second day or third of not smoking my liver hurted for a day again then the mext day it was gonne but i realized that if i keep smoking weed the pain doesnt come because the pain comes when your liver breaks down thc cooc! And that couses the pain but nothing serious at all not to worry!

Yes, it could. From earlier in this thread, it can cause Cannabinoid Hypteremesis, which includes vomiting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid_hyperemesis_syndrome

I don't believe marijuana is harmless, unfortunately. I wish it were because it is a wonderful medicine for a number of problems: pain, anxiety, depression, nausea, low appetite, stress, racing mind, insomnia, etc.

I have liver problems due to being poisoned by a pharmaceutical antibiotic prescribed to me by a doctor. It was a fluoroquinolone antibiotic called Cipro - all fluoroquinolones have heinously dangerous, debilitating, and long-term potential side effects. They are truly devil drugs.

Marijuana has helped with many of the symptoms from that poisoning, but I find that I have bad liver effects from regular use. This is tragic to me because MJ has been such a friend. haha

I think it is a matter of balancing the benefits with the potential harm and seeing if it is worth the risk to you. If you are going to take dangerous pharmaceuticals as an alternative, then MJ is probably the safer bet. There are so many dangerous pharmaceuticals that can eff you up for life. I know firsthand on that one.

I think the trick is to think of it as a medicine and to not abuse or over-use that medicine. We should be taking the smallest amount of medicine we can possibly take that controls the symptoms...but most people don't use MJ that way. They use more than they actually need, myself included, because in many cases, it increases pleasure and feelings of well-being. This is especially the case when controlling pain.

I had chemical depression and anxiety so bad from the fluoroquinolone poisoning that I hadn't felt happiness in years. Smoking some MJ with friends was the first time I felt happiness or even the lack of chemical depression and anxiety again.

So it's sad that MJ has ill effects for some people, me included. I love it, but I can't poo-poo the very real health concerns. They exist.

Someone wrote the same thing at the top.you Derp

Nevermind sorry bro

Don't use a TV show validate the benefits of Marijuana. LOL they're just writing a story. This person you refer to is an actress and her name isn't Alexis and she doesn't have cancer and the doctor who prescribed it isn't a doctor. Come back to the real world please.
