It's established that tobacco can affect pancreas but what about MJ?

[WorriedMind]

I've been smoking marijuana for over 10 years and have been running high lipase for over 4 years (usually levels greater than 4x indicate pancreatitis) however I do not have signs or symptoms of acute or chronic pancreatitis. They ran ct scan, ultrasound, colonscopy, celiac and ulcer testing. All fine.

Below the bottom links confirm that tobacco smoke causing increased pancreatic lipase activity. I wonder if this goes for smoking MJ even though the toxins are not as bad as tobacco. I asked doc and of course he said to stay away from MJ, I expected any doc to tell me that.

Do you think ediables or vaporizing will help in my situation?

I understand wanting to ask us stoners, but asking stoners might not be the best advice... BUT, i have had pancreatitis, once. I may have been smoking cigs then, but I haven't had a bout since the one a few years ago and I smoke a lot of pot. So for my one little experience, i say, pot doesn't hurt anything, only helps. But, that is advice from a stoner. Don't worry though, that isn't good for your body. If you can grow your self some nice organic weed, it is all good. Best wishes.

Edit: Vaporizers are really nice. I use mine daily.
