Altered sizes
Saw this in the Edmonton Journal:
Dear Dr. Donohue: Please don't give me a sermon.
I have smoked marijuana since I was 18 and continue to do so. I am 22. I have noticed that my breasts are getting bigger. It's got me worried. Could it be due to marijuana?
S.J.
Marijuana is implicated as a cause of gynecomastia, growth of the male breast. It's not the only cause but, in your case, it's a likely one.
Not only can marijuana enlarge the breasts, it also can lower blood testosterone levels, depress the sperm count and decrease sperm motility.
Is this also true for females?
