HI THERE THANKS FOR ASKING THIS ON HCM, THE DIARRHEA AND VOMITING IS PROBABLY DUE TO A GASTRICPARALYSIS AS SUGGESTED BY OTHER DOCTORS. MARIJUANA USUALLY CAUSES INCREASE IN APPETITE SO THERE ARE LESS CHANCES OF WEIGHT LOSS UNLESS YOUR HUSBAND IS VOMITING EVERYTHING HE IS EATING. MY ADVICE IS THAT YOU TAKE YOUR HUSBAND TO A REHAB CENTRE AND MAKE HIM STOP THIS HABIT.HOPE THIS HELPED.
