Do edibles affect liver?
I sometimes use edibles for relaxation and to help with sleep. I'm generally careful about my health, so I'm curious: do edibles affect the liver, and if so, how much?

Yes, they do. Anything you ingest has to be processed by your liver, unlike when something is inhaled. I track my health metrics closely and always advise people to be careful because liver enzymes can definitely spike with heavy use.
Since the liver metabolizes the active compounds in edibles, excessive consumption can strain it over time. If you are into fitness, keeping your liver clean with a good diet, plenty of water, and avoiding toxins is basic common sense.
I had a phase where I was taking these quite often, and my routine blood test showed elevated liver enzymes. Once I completely stopped and improved my lifestyle, the numbers came back to normal. It is definitely something to take seriously.
Anything artificial or processed will put pressure on your digestive system and liver. I always believe in clean homemade food and natural herbs. If you are feeling heavy or nauseous, please consult a proper doctor instead of trying home remedies.
Yes, they are processed directly by the liver, so regular or heavy use can strain it.
