How does cannabis affect jaundice?

Dont think so: Many causes of jaundice. If a person has cancer causing jaundice mj may help with hunger. Best to find out what the cause is and fix that first.

Hepatotoxicity: A 2004 study in brazil found that marijuana users had elevations in their liver enzymes, pointing to possible hepatotoxicity. I agree with my colleague that other causes of jaundice need to be investigated, but chronic marijuana use itself may injure the liver also. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15448809.
