A member asked:

Hi docs, do you think it's bad to smoke weed with a sensitive esophagus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't know what you: mean by a "sensitive" esophagus. If you are having heartburn and reflux symptoms, there are case reports of marijuana increasing the likelihood and severity of such reactions, just as tobacco smoke does. It certainly is less common with marijuana than with tobacco, but it can occur. It's bad to smoke marijuana if it is causing problems in your life, which would include your health.
