diabete's and marijuana

by tothemoon94, Jul 12, 2008 01:36AM
so, i've heard lots of things about diabete's with marijuana or alcohol, so now i want some facts. i've heard that alcohol can make your blood sugar go low but i thought it turned into sugar very fast so it would make my blood sugar high?
i've allso heard of people going low while smoking marijuana, which could be because they have had a over dose. or is the weed causing this? this information would be helpfull before i try marijuana for safety resons.

thanks,

SO glad that you're researching this. I'm proud of you for taking good, proactive care of your health! I don't have any specifics but there are other posts on this topic. Take a look back and see what they said. But mostly, DON'T DO IT. For so many reasons. Love your body, take care of it and it will take care of YOU.

Hubby experienced very low blood sugars after drinking and smoking pot.   Both are dangerous for you and extremely acidic.   I am so glad you are looking for info so you will know the truth.  Don't let peer pressure get to you.  Stay focused on being healthy and keep the poision out of your body.
