Does smoking give you the poos?

[birdgirl73]

Smoking of anything, whether it's tobacco or cannabis, can stimulate the gastro-colic reflex, which'll make you need to empty your bowels. It's probably because of the early vaso-constrictive effect that happens when you smoke anything. Happens to a lot of people, and it doesn't indicate digestive problems necessarily.

Other things that can stimulate the reflex are eating. That is, when you add new contents at the top of the digestive system, it stimulates the reflex at the end. And also coffee and other hot liquids.

Maybe something to do with what you eat when you are stoned?

I get the shits when I drink coffee and smoke cigarettes. Weed usually settles my stomach down and makes me feel better (if you know what I mean).

I have to agree with birdgirl that tobacco and weed can over stimulate the stomach/intestines...

But some people who havd IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) get better by smoking and some get worse.

I have a form of colitis which is inflammation in the intestines and weed usually calms my stomach down for the most part... the really really really dank stuff might cause me to get an upset stomach at first but then I am good.

If it persits see a DR.

I notice that if I have a really full stomach and it gets irratable I just smoke me a blunt.. and weed guarantees that I wont even feel my stomach let alone take a dump.. I have taken a crap before high as heck... and it feels good to be relieved because being high only intensifies that heavenly feeling you feel as your stomach is getting light from last nights munchy fest.. *sigh* Weed always calms whatever symptoms im having.. upset stomach.. nervous.. bored.. slight headaches.. and it makes me crack the fuck up at you guys haha! :thumbsup:
