Does Marijuana Cause Gallstone Pain?
Will smoking marijuana cause gallstone pain? I have a few tiny ones that are not in the duct(?). I had my first attack the other day and was hospitalized but they sent me home after knowing my gallstones didn t need imediate surgery. If I smoke, will it cause another attack?

hi thanks for asking question.
As far as side effect of marijuana concerned, it does not have impact on gall stone pain.
It can lead to panic attack,anxiety,sleep disorder ,diorientension etc.
Here because of your gall stone you suffered a pain might be because of cholecystitis.
For pain releiving simple over the counter analgesic can be taken.
It is better to stop marijuana.
I hope you have no further query.
thanks
