Is Marijuana Also Contraindicated For Primary Biliary Cirrhosis?
Hi, I'm a 66-year-old female non-drinker, who was diagnosed as having autoimmune hepatitis after a liver biopsy.I was was prescribed 40 mg prednisone. This drug was horrible and I sought a 2nd opinion. A revised diagnosis by a Dr at the University of Michigan reported that I have Primary Biliary Cirrhosis, which he will treat with ursodiol, as prednisone does nothing for this disease. Occasional marijuana use for autoimmune hepatitis is contraindicated, what about for PBC?

This article can show you what I will tell you--I see no reason for concern in a patient with autoimmune hepatitis--which in essence is similar to hep C--occasionally using marijuana
