Something i don't understand.

    Recently i was looking at what are supposedly health effects of weed, there were, of course, positives and negatives.

    What i don't understand is that an article said that in women it decreases estrogen levels and increases testosterone levels and in men it decreases testosterone levels and increases estrogen levels.

    I don't get how this can be possible, isn't it just one or the other?

    Woman have low amounts of testosterone and Men have low amounts of estrogen to begin with. As far as Marijuana increasing those amounts? I doubt it.

    I've heard about the whole lowering testosterone levels in men, thus making them sterile or something, but I've never heard about it upping the opposite hormone. I've been smoking for a while now and don't have a mustache and still have boobs sooooo I'm going to have to say that that is bullshit.

    While I don't really believe it, theoretically, it could happen if it somehow affects what controls the release of hormones in your body.

    I think this is mostly just a scare tactic.

    think of a 13 year old boy and girl hearing that smoking dirty weed in a marijuana cigarette will turn you into the opposite sex! dun dun dun.

    yeah i agree, it just seemed fishy that the same drug in a male would do something different in a female.
