Suggest Complications With Latent TB
I am 53 years old. female, 120#, 5 feet. I was diagnosed with latent TB. I smoke marijuana everyday. I only have 1 hit and thats enough to take the edge off., Some people like a cocktail at the end of the work day......,thats my cocktail. Do you think this can cause the latent tb to turn into the more serious disease?

Hello dear
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
* The marijuana is going definitely to harm yourself in following ways
- weakening of the lung immunity - flaring up of the existing infection
- bronchi damage which are already functioning at disturbed levels due
to TB .
Hope this clears your query .
Welcome for further guidance .
