Can smoking pot keep you dehydrated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Causes a dry mouth: The physical effects of marijuana can cause your heart to race, eye problems, and dry mouth. This can give you the feeling of dehydration. Remember, this is an illicit drug that can do other things to your body as well. Like induce anxiety, panic reactions, and paranoia. It also can precipitate psychotic symptoms. It can also cause lung problems in heavy smokers. It does not help w/ pain either.
