Does weed cause liver damage?
I've heard different things about this from friends. While alcohol is known to affect the liver, I'm curious if cannabis use can also cause significant damage to it. Should I be concerned?

I developed fatty liver issues a couple of years back and my doctor told me that toxins from any substance put extra load on the liver. If you are mixing weed with alcohol or taking it regularly, your liver has to work double time to filter it all out. Please get an LFT (Liver Function Test) done to see your actual enzyme levels.
Hey! Usually, liver issues are more linked to alcohol, but smoking regularly still puts a lot of load on your body's natural filters. Drinking plenty of water and eating fresh fruits really helps keep your system clean. Just be mindful of what you put in your body and stay healthy! 😊
Agreed with others. Even if it is not as bad as alcohol, any regular substance use can stress the liver, so getting an annual ultrasound is a good habit.
I am no doctor, but I can share my experience. I used to smoke quite frequently and when I got my routine office health checkup done last year, my SGOT and SGPT levels were slightly elevated. Once I took a complete break for three months and focused on home food, the levels came back to normal.
In my sixty years, I have seen that the liver is a very forgiving organ, but only if you don't abuse it constantly. While simple herb use might not destroy the liver overnight like heavy drinking does, keeping a clean diet and avoiding chemical substances is always the wisest choice for old age.
Let us look at this practically. Your liver metabolizes almost everything you consume, including the active compounds in weed. If you are a chronic user, it is highly recommended to get a simple Liver Function Test done once a year; it takes just 10 minutes and gives you a clear picture of your health.

Haan, log sochte hain ki liver sirf alcohol se kharab hota hai, par aisa nahi hai na. Extra stress toh har cheez se padta hai body pe. Isliye thoda limits mein hi rakhna chahiye sab kuch, aur beech mein breaks lena toh bohot zaroori hai body ko detox karne ke liye.
It might not cause direct damage like alcohol, but it definitely strains your system over time. Keep an eye on your liver enzymes.
