Testosterone

DateSaturday, July 26, 2008 at 10:14PM

Testosterone levels were reportedly lowered by “chronic intensive marijuana use” in one 1974 study. These findings have not been substantiated by subsequent research. Two studies concluded that regular administration of cananbinoids reduced testosterone levels in rats, but a review of those studies by Leo Hollister concluded that no significant effect on testosterone or fertility was found. There is no epidemiological evidence that cannabis users are at risk of lowered testosterone levels.

Hollister and you are correct. Even heavy use by 60+ year old male does NOT lower testosterone. Even higher than normal.
True Story!!
