Effects of marijuana on Hep B patients?

Hi Guys,

A few years ago I was diagnosed with Hep B and since then I havent touched alcohol or marijuana. This has been very hard as im only 18 and am currently attending a very alcohol orientated university.

My doctors have told me to stay away from alcohol but marijuana has never been mentioned. Im just wondering, What are the effects of marijuana on the liver and whiether or not it is adviseable for a Hep B patient to smoke it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In California and Nevada and ???, Hep patients qualify for a prescription for medical marijuana to help with their side effects..,

There was a discussion thread in january titled "Medicinal Marijuana laws explained"  here's the url:

funny we're on the same page on so much of this, I take a really high potency oregano, and slab the stuff on anything I can, maybe one of reasons the meditteranean diet is so great (statistically) is cause oregano is such an integral part of it...I just like to do anti-oxidant washes throughout the day...I'm with you on the mangosteen, prob just another high oxidant juice, once they are really high like that it's hard to know exactly what is what and how much, all that...youre prob really helping youre immune response with all this great stuff you're doing, and I'm glad the sides are easy on you...
