A member asked:
Does marijuana harm the liver, i have stage 4 liver disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a good idea: Marijuana is metabolized by the liver, so it will put a stress on the liver. If you have liver disease, it's a good idea not to put unnecessary stress on your liver function. It's important to think about what marijuana does for you - does it help with nausea? Sleep? Appetite? Anxiety? If so, you might seek a psychiatric or medical consultation to find other means of symptoms control & comfort.
