Does Intake Of Weed Lead To Anemia?

My boyfriend is always smoking weed, he passes out alot when I come home from work I find him laid out on the floor. He went to the doctors and did blood work, his results came back and he has anemia. Can it be possible that the weed is causing him to pass out?

Hi,

Per say, weed smoking is not directly related to anemia in any way. However, persistent weed smoking for a prolonged duration may result in different type of cancer, resulting in loss of blood due to bleeding or reduced dietary intake due to loss of appetite.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
