Is Smoking Marijuana Safe While Suffering From Hemochromatosis?
Hi my husband has recently been diagnosed with hemachromotoaia and has recently stopped drinking any alcohol. We are aware that smoking marijuana in moderation is not a great habit to have however we are wondering if that has a negative impact on this disease. Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
* The smoking Marijuana has definite detrimental effects in a patient with hemochromatosis as
- worsening effect of marijuana over the already compromised liver cells
- central nervous system effects over neuronal pathways
- disturbances with bronchi and alveoli functioning
- over all compromise with body immune response
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
