| Response from Dr. Dieterich
 You are right, there was something recently that suggested that marijuana might actually make HCV worse. That would go against what we have previously been telling people. There are receptors, recently described for cannabinoids in the liver too. Their actual function is not well known yet. For the meantime, go slow and be careful with marijuana if you have liver disease. DTD | ||||||||
