That's a great question, and it's one worth exploring carefully when living with PBC. Unfortunately, THC drinks and cannabis-related products fall outside the scope of what can be confidently addressed here in relation to PBC specifically.

What is well understood is that the liver plays a central role in processing substances we consume — and with PBC already affecting liver health, anything that could add stress to the liver deserves careful consideration.

The best step is to speak directly with your hepatologist before trying THC drinks. They can:

- Review your current liver function and test results
- Consider any medications you're taking (like UDCA or obeticholic acid)
- Give you personalized guidance based on your specific health picture

Your hepatology team is really the safest and most reliable source for this kind of question — they won't judge, and it's always better to ask than to guess when your liver is involved! 🙂

Most pharmacists in Canada have a 4 yr undergrad degree.

Hospital pharmacists would be able to find the evidence for you, though. Certainly in the UK they can do that

I would ask my hepatologist that question. Mine is an expert in PBC. I wouldn’t even ask my pharmacist because they are generalists.
