Just from personal experience smoking marijuana led to pain in my heart which was an early warning sign of my fatty liver, you will also make bad food choices on marijuana and be less active which is counter productive in my opinion. Just my own experience anyway, could be different for others

Does anyone know if marijuana derived medicine/substances circumvents these issues compared to traditional marijuana use? There might be differences if elements of marijuana are isolated?

There isn't enough research to answer the question so risky for liver patients

I haven't heard of this "benefit" from smoking marijuana. Who is Healio? Not until I get some clinical studies done will I consider this.

I haven't seen the research so I'd treat this news with caution. Helio does headline seeking clickbait sometimes.

Dear Wayne,

Thank you for your comment. Clickbait is a new term for me. Thank you again for our recent Zoom meeting. Also, very much enjoyed Zoom meeting with Gabriella.

Sincerely,

Rob Goodban
