Can marijuana effect the liver and kidneys?

Answer 1

It is known that marijuana has many positive medical uses. However, there are also some down sides. This is why it is so important to do the research. People have to be careful not to jump to one side or the other just because they feel strongly pro or against.

In this case, yes, marijuana can interfere with liver function and cause damage.

Firstly, it can interfere with how cytochrome P450 enzyme system works. It can interfere with breaking down some substances and medications properly. It can also cause liver damage, disorders, or poisoning.

Answer 2

Yes, your liver and kidneys both have to process the THC that the marijuana leaves behind. The THC turns into a liquid once the smoke leaves your body. It can be harmful for both organs.

^^ most retarded answer ever.

NO it will not damage your liver. Your lungs maybe a little due to smoke inhalation, but no where near what tobacco will do.

THC DOES NOT turn into a liquid, what sci fi show have you been watching? It turns to tar in your lungs which you (over time) clean out naturally. Your liver is fine, stop buying into the POT IS SO BAD FOR YOU Propaganda.
