Marijuana Causes Bad Stomach Problems, Etc.

30+ years of smoking the herb and have never heard of this.
I call bullshit as it is more of the same old reefer madness syndrome.

its very ignorant to think that you know every thing that has to do with anything about weed. I'm not saying its common, I'm saying its possible, and in fact a problem some people have when smoking weed. I know from experience that weed either caused my stomach problems, or prevented my stomach problems healing. All i know for fact is that after 6 months of extreme abdominal pain, and smoking for 5 years, i finally thought MAYBE it was the weed. I stopped for a day, and the pain was a 4 instead of an 8. Then i went another day without smoking, and the pain went down to a 2. After a week of not smoking my pain was completely gone and i could eat and drink regularly again for the first time in forever. Maybe it was a stomach ulcer that needed a couple days without smoke in my body to fully heal, but i do know I'm healthy as ever, and am able to smoke again without severe pain. Im not being a know it all by any means, i just don't want people like me coming on here and hearing all this bullshit about how its not possible that weed causes it, so they never consider it as an option, and never stop and see. Just please stop saying its not possible because it is, and because i figured it out on my own, i don't have to pay any more stupid medical bills.
 
So you smoke again and there is no problem!
Then that proves it was NOT the pot causing your stomach pain.
It might have been contributing to a problem you had! So you cannot say it was the pot that did it.
As i stated before i call bullshit.
 
Hi! I am the smartest person in the world and know everything about marijuana.Very glad your stomach is better now that you dont smoke pot anymore.All of us here at roll it up are gonna miss you.
 
Not true at all.

Had stomach problems all my life and got diagnosed with crohns disease before I ever touched bud. After being diagnosed I found it completely fixed my problems- better than any $1000 drugs that doctors gave me.

In addition, mj also lowers your tnf levels, which is the cause of crohns disease. Except it does it safely, while the drugs that they give you to do this have crazy side effects and a risk of cancers.
 
Its very true, I really appreciate to you about this thread. Marijuana is one of the disaster thing for the health. So thanks for sharing such a nice thread.

I have also experienced stomach pain after smoking. When I consulted to physician he advised me to leave habit of smoking. Since it may welcome other disease as well which includes fungal infection, cancer, breathing problem etc.
 
An excess of anything will cause the body issues; for example Red meat, Acidic fruits, Coffee, etc. The simple fact that you stopped smoking for a few days is a change in one single variable of your life, this doesn't necessarily mean that its the substance itself that is the problem, it could be the way you go about using it. What do you use to light the herb?(Butane is awful for the body) Do you cough much?(Severe diaphragm contraction might cause stomach issues) In my opinion since this isn't a problem that's mentioned by more than lets say 5% of stoner population(if that) then there is some side-issue these people are having with the way they go about smoking or living their lives in general.
 
It's a good idea to take a break from pot every once and a while, just to guage what affects it is having on your life, body, mind, etc. The same goes for alcohol (and probably junk food, too). Every year, my spouse and I take a month off from the herb. That way we know if we're suffering any ill effects (so far, we aren't), and we feel better knowing that it isn't a big deal to stop.

Of course it's different for medical users that may depend on pot to eat. My spouse was just diagnosed with Crohn's, so she may be abstaining from her abstinance for a while.
 
I need pot to help with my stomach and other issues. POt is the best thing for stomach issues. I guess all those study about how it help cancer patients and others with stomach problems is bullshit, WRONG. I know who bs...rw

Yep every negative effect of cannabis is the result of your imagination. Cannabis makes your imagination very powerful and if you don't handle it well you'll imagine terrible things about the experience. You can't forget that even with the indicas it's still more or less a psychedelic drug.

I use MJ for Ulcerative Colitis. According to OP, my stomach problems should be 5x worse since I use MJ....but it eliminates all my symptoms, including cramps, nausea and horrible diarrhea. How can MJ cause stomach problems if it is widely used by people WITH stomach problems? LOL

The only time my UC starts to act up is when my cannabinoid levels are down. The less cannabis I use, the worse my stomach/intestines/colon pain is

You guys really are trippin
 
Many great points...I just wanna drop my 2 cents while I'm here. As mentioned, smoking bud is just one variable that can have a compounding effect on a pre-existing condition but let's not forget that it will affect everyone slightly different due to physiology. I know that excessive cigarette smoking fucked up my stomach but weed never did that to me. Ulcers can definitely be aggravated by smoking. I have heard people complain about stomach issues when smoking and ingesting hash. I'd recommend quitting as u did as smoking will compromise ur immune system increasing the likelihood of infection or disease/cancer. Smoking is not the safest method to administer mj especially for someone who is sick. I'd consider trying edibles if ur problem persists. The goal would be to enjoy the benefits without the detrimental aspects associated with smoking it. The thing is most of us were introduced to pot by smoking it and it will be hard to make the shift as I personally like the mj cigarette because it helped me quit cigs...praise the Lord. In the end, u know ur body best so trust ur instincts. U did the right thing by conducting ur little test and quitting. Only u know the way u feel and it's ur responsibility to keep ur health in check. Quitting is good as it will also reduce ur tolerance and allow u to smoke less and feel more of an effect. Everything in moderation...I'm a firm believer. Just felt like rambling...I'm done. Peace
 
I only ever used to get stomach trouble when I ate too much! I knew I was never gonna quit weed... and eventually, my lifelong overeating has STOPPED! It was a mental problem, not a weed problem. But I know smoking has helped me!!! Now if I eat anything but fresh and healthy I feel it the next day... I'm talking organic, NO WHITE BREAD whatsoever... some things that people eat everyday and think are "healthy" really aren't healthy at all!
