                    [Summary] => Daily cannabis smoking of at least one marijuana cigarette per day in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection was strongly associated with liver fibrosis progression, according to a new French study of 211 patients presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases. However, the study’s "occasional" cannabis smokers – those having less than one cigarette per day – had no increased risk of progression of fibrosis. Based on the findings, daily cannabis smoking should be avoided in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
