weed decreases male hormone

[The Great Wave]

I was looking around and saw that someone had mentioned

Smoke marijuana after your workout? - Rapmusic.com (http://board.rapmusic.com/showthread.php?t=1035858)

"weed decreases male hormone, the shit that promotes muscle growth, so you're basically making your workout less effective."

I googled "weed decreases male hormone" to see if there was any truth to this.

I was hoping you fine people could inform me a bit more.

Read the book "Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts". This "fact" has been totally skewed, it really only happens when you smoke the seeds, and thousands of them at a time. Weed has little to no affect on either male or female hormones.

i don't know about hormones but, in 'Super High Me', Doug Benson's sperm count went UP for the month he smoked. that leads me to disbelieve this shit. anyway, toke amongst yourselves

Covers several hormones, but testosterone is the first one mentioned.

Effects of chronic marijuana use on testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, prolactin and cortisol in men and women.

this is a quote from that article, didn't bother reading the whole thing, this was enough. LOL
anyway, here it is
"Chronic marijuana use showed no significant effect on hormone concentrations in either men or women."

peace, love, dope
