Brief Answer:
avoid eating

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir ,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

Since you are having chronic pancreatitis you need to avoid eating pizza with marijuana. Your pancreas has reduced efficiency at digesting food. So these fatty food and marijuana won't get digested properly. These foods may exhaust the pancreas and worsen the condition further.

Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Answered by Dr. Deepika Patil (10 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
avoiding marijuana will benefit your health

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

The active components of marijuana affects your pancreas function and also other effects on body. This happens even by vapourisation. How much it will affect depends on the level of impairment of your pancreas.

The little amount you want to take may affect your pancreas, chances are more. This will depend on body mechanism . so there is no 100% rule to say how much will cause what problem. General rule is more the exposure more the problems.

So my suggestion is avoid marijuana in any form.

Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Dr.Deepika Patil
