A member asked:

What happens if i'm on acid reflux medication can i still smoke weed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It may make it worse: Tobacco smoke causes relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, and marijuana smoke, though not as potent at doing this, may also lower the pressure and increase the likelihood and severity of reflux.

Dr Iwata and another doctor agreed
