Have you never done it before?

 

[Deleted member 6572]

No

Well why does alcohol effect it but weed doesn’t?

 

[Deleted member 6382]

Maybe because its not the same thing?

 

[JustBeCurry]

I’ve heard weed lowers both t and e

 

[Deleted member 6892]

Lower T, HGH and higher E due to estrogen binding

marijuana will lower test

 

[Deleted member 6572]

marijuana will lower test

How you know

 

[Deleted member 9670]

Little bit its probably fine

 

[Deleted member 7173]

It doesn't do shit, maybe 1% of your Test will be lowered temporarily

 

[Deleted member 10536]

Anecdotal and don't want to look up, but it will lower t and it's estrogenic.
BUT!!! There's a catch here imo. People who do weed are lazy fucks, and when they smoke they sure as hell not going to lift a finger and most likely hog down on shitty food and lower their life quality overall, shitty sleep, etc, so all these other factors which we all know that affects t will and does come at play here, so that might be an "overlooked" factor, because of habits. Still, imo it does lower and if you ever "did" weed, you wouldn't even ask such a question, because you'd know that the answer is 100% it's not good for you or your hormones.

The Effects of Cannabis on your Hormones | ZRT Laboratory

While cannabis is being legalized in more and more states, both the adverse and beneficial effects of its use are starting to be better understood. The active compound in cannabis, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is widely known to have effects on the brain, producing the “high” that many users are...

TLDR: Minor drop in test, sperm count, lower libido in men for a day or 2 after
Nothing to worry about imo, don't do it too often and have fun

Think of weed as an amusement park trip, not something that should be done daily. Very fun to do every few weeks or so

I only smoke on the weekends. Weed is a reward from a long week of hard work

That's how it should be. Use a different strain though not all strains make you lazy

smoking everyday at night is still bad bro.. i smoke more than that and i’m addicted af, once a day is still addicted too

i want to quit but covid life is boring without it

Depressants usually do have the effect of messing with T levels. Not sure why but things like alcohol and opiates are bad for your testosterone. While stimulants usually don't mess with it or in some cases even raise it slightly. I know marijuana is linked to lower T levels but the correlation is usually not very strong even among chronic users.

But alcohol lowers it much more doesn’t it?

Yes alcohol lowers it way more, alcohol is confirmed to destroy your testosterone while marijuana has a very weak link to lower testosterone

And amphetamine might even be good for t levels right

 

[Good_Little_Goy]

That’s the thing it’s not crystal clear what the link is between cannabis use and testosterone, we know that chronic use consistently presents with much lower t levels but beyond that it’s pretty murky with some studies showing increased testosterone levels in cannabis users and people who have ever smoked cannabis vs not etc
