Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
Marijuana is likely to worsen your stomach ulcer problem. The reasons are:
1) Smoke is a gastric irritant and can induce or worsen ulcer formation.
2) Marijuana is known to have appetite-inducing properties. One of the associated effects of this is an increased acid production in the stomach, which can worsen stomach ulcers.
So, i you have an stomach ulcer problem, I would advise you to stop or cut down on smoking marijuana.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
