Marijuana Causes Bad Stomach Problems, Etc.

you cant fix stupid ya know. From no colon cancer, to stage 4 in 8 months

i had a look at that and it seemed like complete bullshit to me lol the dude has to medical cred so im not guna trust em and even people docters and so on will say weed is bad for you cuz of the fact its not leagal

I would like to chime in and say a few things... I have ulcers. Ulcers are caused by a bacteria. Smoking marijuana is an immunosuppressant. Smoking too much marijuana and smoking too frequently can lead to worse ulcers. I have just went through this just recently. Quitting smoking for two weeks and eating a good diet healed my ulcer and now Im smoking again. Know your body and listen to it.

ok this is nice for this posting related people and lots of people gains the knowledge

Dude honestly i think that if weed caused stomach ulcers then everyone would have stomach ulcers. so i think since cigarette smoke can irritate them so does weed just because the fact its smoke. not that it causes them.

READ my post, dont assume. I never said marijuana causes ulcers....god I hate it when people read only what they want to read. Im not explaining myself to you. reread my post.

the oil from pot smoke will cause/add to heartburn ,
i have to take the purple pill prilosec every day

Its because smoke gets in your stomach.

Think about it. Inhaling smoke into the stomach, its going to cause inflammation. Its going to cause gas, bloating, digestion of carcinogens which will inflame your intestine.

Medical users are using marijuana very frequently, lots of times patients will cough because marijuana is a bronchial dilator. Frequent coughing can cause stomach pains and intestinal pains also.

pot is an immunosuppressant. Meaning that your immune system cant fight off bacteria thats in your gut like it normally does when smoking pot. Has everything to do with smoking pot. Do some research. Your post in the wrong hands could kill someone.... not smart.

I realize that anything in the wrong hands could be lethal, but the facts are I'm healthy as shit, haven't been sick for three years in any way, that comes from given less than six months to live, smoke at least an eighth everyday, and I'm over half a century old. Get some toothpaste with bleach in it if you can't get any thing else. It will help. War has been declared on potheads by the united states of america and yes these people don't mind putting the shit to people they don't like, literally. Apparently they've figured out some way to make money at it, oddly, through agriculture. I have lost many(non-smoking) friends because of bacterial and bacterium build up in their bodies. I almost went down too. The pills from the doctor didn't help in any way. Remove this post also

I have severe heart burn and I know for a fact its not because of my sweet mary jane its all the additives and chemicals they put in our food, and the items we use on a day to day basis. watch what you eat man it is probably because of your food choices

Man, I was really shocked when I found this thread on another site. I was having bad problems with my stomach; pain, gas, bloating, indigestion, burping, nausea, loose stools, blockage, sometimes a little fever, etc, etc.
I am a long time mj smoker & I smoke pretty much daily. About 3 months ago, I started to get indigestion, gas, bloating, etc, etc, etc. Not having health insurance, I have tried everything and I was getting pretty scared I had somethiong really terrible. I was about to pull out $4000 from my IRA for a colonoscopy to get myself checked.
Then I found this thread on a med site about others, like me, who are having reactions to pot. If any of you are having stomach problems, or lung problems, it may help you:

i tryed to read the article and clicked on the link you posted but it just took me to the main page didnt take me to the actual artical your talking about.......

i have IBS(Irratable Bowel Syndrome). people said it was from smoking pot but after tests and quiting for months i still had the same problems. to top that off, ibs and fibromyalgia might be cause and efect related!

If you are a chronic marijuana user and your having stomach problems read this article:
Cannabinoid hyperemesis: cyclical hyperemesis in association with chronic cannabis abuse @ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1774264/
I've smoked for 10 years and had stomach problems for 3-4 years with no diagnosis other than IBS. I'm definitely not as severely affected by the condition as the people from this study however I have lost 10kg in the last 6 months and the condition seems to be getting worse. Most of the patients in the study were chronic marijuana smokers (10 cones a day) and had had no problems with there stomach initially. However after years of use (abuse!?) they started developing stomach problems. I don't want to stop smoking marijuana but am preparing myself for life without a spliff in the evening. I have a trip to Amsterdam already planned for a month from now and am planning on quitting once smoke myself silly one last time. Anyway I know there will be naysayers out there who don't believe marijuana can cause stomach problems when it has antiemetic properties but this is the case. I will re post sometime in the future to let everyone out there know how the quitting went and hopefully whether it is my beloved mary jane that has been causing my stomach problems.

If Cannabis is actually an immunosuppressant...it'd take a very irresponsible doctor to prescribe it to a HIV patient...which is one of the main published purposes for medical cannabis. Hmm...

I dont mind, but weed totally gives me heartburn...... my brother promised it would stop if i would stop smoking for a month, but I guess it's just gonna have to be something I live with......and what sucks is that it would never do this.... It all started after I turned like 24.... I'm 26 now....... Just turned 26 may 29th.... But, yea.... we can be drinking, but 15 or so mins after we smoke a blunt or take bong hits(I dont really do bong hits.... I prefer the high of a joint/blunt)... The heartburn starts to creep in....... I have not even read the rest of the thread, and dont know what it's really about or what kind of stomach problems, but I just know for a fact that MJ gives ME Heartburn...... Maybe it's a mix of weed and something else... Alcohol maybe, but it doesnt happen till i smoke..... no bs

Alcohol is a serious cause of heartburn man, I have to take Rennie most of the time when I drink.

I am old I know better: wife suddenly has the last thing she spent all week reading about! If 3 doctors say you got something they might be correct but they are just practicing medicine?

Wait for it wait for it............ Surprise!: here it comes!

I have been smoking only resin and kief for over 10 years, and I cough up alot of black tar looking stuff. I figured maybe that black tar getting into my stomach could be what's causing my stomach pain and issues. Only way to know is to quit smoking and that won't be happening anytime soon.
