Marijuana affecting liver functions?

Marijuana affecting liver functions?

Hello all,

I have Crohns disease, and for about a year have been having some abnormally high liver function tests. The Dr. is changing my medications a bunch (off Asacol, reduced Imuran, etc), and I have abstained from alcohol use (not heavy drinker, but partied hard when I did), but my liver counts have not decreased significantly. I am wondering if my daily Marijuana smoking could be causing the elevated liver functions, rather than the medications or something else. Anyone have any input for me?

THanks!

HI,
I have never heard of weed causing a high liver function test.
  With all the marijuana bashing that goes on, I would think this would have been highly spoken about if it did cause a liver problem.
peace,

yes, all drugs pass through your liver
pot is not an exception to this rule
our livers have a tough job, when we put anything into our bodies our liver works as our on sanitation department
clean up after out mistakes
next time you somke a joint, look at the end of that joint, the "resin" is proof that our liver is working over time to compensate the smog we push into our bodies
if you must take marij. for medical reasons talk to your doctor about placydil, its pot in a pill
when you buy pot off the streets you have no way of knowing what is actually going into your body
for now...............i suggest that you stop smoking pot for a few months, have more blood work done, see whats going on with you'
i am not againt medical marij. use
i am agaisnt the use of illeagle drugs, and people who hid behind an illness, just so they can get high!!!!
