What Causes Pain Under The Left Rib Cage After Smoking Marijuana?
Hello! So I ve been smoking marijuana regularly for the past 2-3 years, almost always out of a bong or water pipe if you will. Recently I have noticed that I get a little bit of pain towards the ends of my ribs, along the left side of my rib cage after smoking (especially after a larger amount of smoke). I m wondering what this could potentially be. Any help?

Hello,
Most probably it is due to conditions like costochondritis and not related to marijuana. As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
