@Help WIth Marijuana?

I have a brother he is 16 years old and used to smoke marijuana daily, he has now slowed down and barely does it, but he is complaining about a stomach pain that is so severe and says its like close to a gnawing pain. Would anyone know if that is a withdrawal/And or if marijuana has withdrawals? If so can symptoms be listed here and what to do for help?

-Thank you

Marijauna has virtually no physical withdrawal syndrome. It is psychological at best - and usually not even that. Marijuana use is not causing a stomach pain. I would look at an acid problem - perhaps a GERD type thing or overproductive stomach acid. These would respond to something like OTC Prilosec ........ bottom line is that he should see a real doctor if you feel this is serious. But it isnt caused by his pot use.
