Brain damage: Marijuana is a psychoactive drug and will mess with your brain with or without hemochromatosis.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form.
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Water: Water is all you will need. You may take a salty snack like pretzels or potato chips to help in retaining water.
