    Marijuana has no bad effect on the liver, except in the case posted by the dude above.
    It's alcohol, tylenol, and some other pills that are bad for the liver. Also, is your diet extremely shitty?

    well my diet isnt EXTREMELY shitty, but id agree that i have some pretty bad eating habits . i eat fast food like maybe 3 days a week, but other than that everything i eat is pretty healthy

    Sorry to hear that dude. Toking probably isn't the worst thing for your liver. Those small THC molecules are nothing compared to the cups of alcohol people pass through their livers.

    Vaping will make it easier on your body. Smoke definitely isn't good for anything.

    How heavy of a drinker are you? This is more than likely more or less genetic, although I am sorry to hear about it.

    I know plenty/am a heavy drinker, and friends who eat a lot of advil/tylenol, and haven't had these kinds of repercussions after years of doing so.

    As far as pot being bad for the liver, there's not really any downsides. It won't be poorly affecting your liver.

    did u read up on that? the study i read said it was bad for it.

    I did, but your study was one of very few that I could find documenting relations between liver damage and marijuana.

    you can find a "study" that crack cures the common cold also but that doesnt mean it works

    Damn. How bad is the disease? I don't know much about diseases so can you inform me a bit more? Is it cureable or treatable in any way? Good luck to you in the present and future!

    Advil (ibuprofen) affects the kidneys, not the liver. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is what affects the liver.

    i would assume smoking wouldnt do anything but if physically smoking is hurting u then just make edibles like brownies and such. maybe they are easier on your liver as well i dont know but i do remember reading on dig that some government study said that marijuana helps to reduce tumor size. it was like some big study or something they tried to keep from us for years. so i guess keep toking :D
