I understand worrying about how things affect your body, especially when trying to stay healthy. Edibles have to be processed by the liver, so heavy or frequent use can definitely put extra strain on it. It's totally valid to be concerned.

Since edibles pass directly through your digestive system, your liver has to do all the heavy lifting to process them. It's much safer to avoid them or keep it extremely rare to keep your liver happy!

Haan, liver pe load toh padta hi hai na because everything you eat gets filtered there. Agar regular use karoge toh issues ho sakte hain. Health ke sath risk mat lo, simple liver function test karwa ke dekh lo.

Yes, THC is metabolized by the liver, unlike when it's inhaled. If you track your health and fitness closely, you'll see it can affect your recovery and sleep cycles too. It is best to avoid them for optimal liver health.

My elders always advised staying away from intoxicants for a pure body. Professionally, doctors also warn that active compounds in edibles are heavily metabolized by liver enzymes, which can cause toxicity in high doses.

With hormonal issues like PCOS, our liver is already busy managing insulin and hormone levels. Adding edibles can disrupt this balance and cause extra stress. I'd suggest discussing this safely with your doctor.
