Amaye7: Please share us sources that show how Marijuana makes people sick so that people have to go to the hospital. There might some little side-effects, but EVERY medication has that. PPI are for example much much much more dangerous than weed.

By the way there isn't only one documented case of somebody who died from Marijuana ever. But 15.000 die from Alcohol every year only in Germany.
So please don't believe the propaganda of the "bad drug".

i can testify to this. i tried marihuana in the past to get high which i now regret, i got no permanent side effects frrom that.

i tried ppi a few months ago and i almost commit suicide the aftermath was horrendous and still recovering frrom it. it weakened my les to the point the acid was going to my lungs and i couldnt even breathe without getting pain in the esophagus, it gave me esophagitis too.

i had to take very small breathes. It also weakened my bones so i broke a rib because i slept propped up, my rib is forever displaced and thank god it no longer bother me. my les is still recovering i can sleep lying down without getting reflux, its still weakened though but not as bad as before.

ppi are just too efficient, taking away all the acid frrom the stomach is like taking away all the blood frrom the heart plus shutting down the parietal cells in the stomach permanently changes the structure of your stomach, its good short term but more than aa month is bad imo, well it was for me.

not everyone get those side effects so dont worry those taking it but yeah the weakened les and the changes in your stomach opretty much everyone after using it for a long time its documented.

So that's in your source:
"For daily marijuana users seeking relief from nausea, doctors now say that using too much for too long can have the opposite effect in rare cases "
- Wow in rare cases some side effects. If you're drinking too much water you're getting side effects in rare cases. If you're eating too much bananas you're getting side effects in rare cases.

OF COURSE you're getting problems if you abuse marijuana. But we are talking here about medical marijuana from medical strains with low thc and high cbd, used with a vaporizer.

Warning about weed, but taking PPIs that easily is just funny, sorry.

I am not a pot smoker. I smoked when I was a teenager but that was ten years ago.

First of all the vice website is basically a tabloid.
I wouldn't take anything they post seriously. It's like
the MTV of the news world, pretty silly.
Second of all that article is about a rare almost allergic
reaction to marijuana. which, we all know is the case for
every single medication a doctor gives anyone.

secondly, the usa today article talks once again about the
effects of THC. and also of rare cases.

third-the article about marijuana related ER visits also shows that 27.1 percent involved nonmedical use of pharmaceuticals.
While 21.2 percent was from illicit drugs. of which marijuana
was no more than half. So then doctor prescribed medication
was much worse than marijuana. So then why is there a problem
with people using marijuana instead of the medication a
doctor gives us? You say marijauna is a drug. Well let's just
understand what a drug is. Where do you fill your perscriptions? a drug store. It's all drugs. Weed, alcohol,
tylenol, Nexium. It's all drugs.

I think just about everyone on this site knows the dangers
and side effects of the drugs we are given for gastritis.
When you crunch the numbers, and do a little research, I
think marijuana is a very safe and effective alternative.

Then when you think about drug related deaths, it really
becomes and eye opener. Noone ever tried to kill themselves
by smoking pot and died. But there are many succesful suicides
involving over the counter pills. So Tylenol can kill you..but
marijuana can't? But marijuana is the big bad wolf?

Hmm let's get our ducks in a row here cause them babies
are gonna get lost on the pond if we don't!

Most doctors have no clue about Gastritis or marijuana.
Marijuana actually reduces stomach acid.
Marijuana doesn't cause Gastritis, it's the tobacco when you smoke it.
No, there is NO damage for the brain for adult people.
Again we are talking about not abusing it.

So every sentence of yours is just wrong. Every scientist knows that cannaboids are healing the body, but you seem to that better. Next candidate for the Nobel Prize.

ok this is supposed to be a supportive site. try to drop the insults.. it is not very mature.

everyone has their own journey with gastritis. what works for some may not work for others.

give amaye a break, she is way younger than most of us here.

I also feel doctors are not too good with the gastritis issue.

gastritis is a hard road for many people and many of us have learned we are all different with how we heal and what works for us. we need to respect that.

Of course everybody can do whatever she or he wants to heal. But she is just telling totally wrong facts, nothing to respect that.

Damage to the brain? It's so sad to see that this type of propaganda is still alive and strong today.

I don't want to start a big long 7 year war here so I'll just end it here.

I've made several very good points and they have just been met with un-researched and wild claims. All I know is, if it's okay for doctors to push along the company line and fill everyone up with pills, for anyone to grab a cold beer out of the fridge and watch the hockey game...then it's okay for me to try medical marijuana to heal something that just simply isn't healing! I followed the doctors advice for 2 years now and they have all been useless. So now this is my last resort. I'm going through the proper and legal channels, and if my doctor says no, then I guess I'm right where I am now. So what have I got to lose? If marijuana makes things worse, then I won't continue using it right?

Phew !!!!!! I am exhausted reading these posts. Agree with Lesleygym all getting a little torrid. Bit of a game of tennis going on - but we all have our experiences and beliefs and must respect that. Each person is only trying to help. My experiences of PPI's just did not happen - nothing happened so I went the natural route - no antacids just naturals like tumeric, probiotics, Silicol Gell, Aloa Vera, organic plain bio yoghurt and high factor Manuka honey and I cleared it completely. That was five years ago and since then I have eaten and drank anything and now red wine is saying - do me a favour - knock it off you are hurting me and it serves me right!!!!!!!! Back on the above routine and it is not having the great same effect so added a really expensive digestive enzyme a few weeks ago and my tummy is so much better, even down to eating back to normal and dare I say it a glass of red. Now whether it is coincidence I don't know. But all feedback on here is good - there is no need to get into a war of words because we are all just trying to help with what we believe is right.
Each to our own and live and let live and someone may benefit from our advice - that is the aim on here. No-one should feel defeated, research is good and healthy. Stop bickering and accept points of view, they are only trying to help you guys.
Regards as always to all G.

No problem in accepting different points of view.
But huge problem of accepting wrong facts.

I think the GI specialist who treats gastritis daily knows what he is talking about. but im almost healed and its been 7 weeks so goes to show that age really doesnt have anything to do with knowledge. Enjoy your pot lol and i have done research, i did research in order to quit marijuana. I was just throwing random sources down cause frankly i dont really care if you guys believe me or not. There shouldnt be a support group for such a temporary illness especially when its absolutely not supportive. Gatritis is literally an inflammed stomach and if you cant get it under control within 6 months then you are just hurting yourselves. If weed is sooo great and so okay then try using it infront of the police station or give it to your kids! Lol its not healthy unless its been medically disected. And it does so do damage to the brain. I cant believe nobody is agreeing with me, most people i know wont touch the stuff because it makes them paranoid and can cause memory loss or mental diseases. Good luck with your life long stomach issues while im living free of pain! Without drugs lol

And stop replying if youre done. Also my profile doesnt indicate my age so clearly some of u are paying more attention to me than u should be.

I wouldnt jynx my healing like you. It might come back and plague you for life though i do not wish this to my worst enemy. Most people here have been healed and felt just like you only to come back later hopefully this is not the case for you and this is why some of us would resort to this.
