Does smoking pot cause man boobs?

CNN ^ | December 5, 2013 | Dr. Anthony Youn

(CNN) -- A young man in his 20s -- let's call him George -- sits across from me in the exam room.

"Dr. Youn," he says, "I have man boobs."

I notice a not-so-unfamiliar smell wafting from his body. It's the same odor that floated my way during a rock concert I recently attended.

"How long have you had a problem with this, George?"

"Hard to say. But it seems to have gotten worse over the past year or so."

"George, the first thing you need to do is stop smoking pot. Marijuana could be causing your man boobs."

Fat bastard must have been slightly more than a recreational user.

[cableguymn]

[FreedomOfExpression]

Slings, you also work in mysterious, but usually pretty humorous ways on FR.

Thanks for the ping(s).

Marijuana causing men’s boobs to grow, fast food causing penis to shrink. No wonder there’s so many gender confused people out there.

“Animal studies have shown that exposure to the active ingredient in marijuana can result in a decrease in testosterone levels, a reduction of testicular size,”

So...that explains liberal men, anyway.

Animal studies have shown that exposure to the active ingredient in marijuana can result in a decrease in testosterone levels, a reduction of testicular size, and abnormalities in the form and function of sperm.

"Wha?"

[BenLurkin]

This has been known for decades.

I’ve never smoked anything and I’ve had them practically my entire adulthood even before I acquired a spare tire or a gut.

Next.

[huldah1776]

did you have soy based baby formula?

[varyouga]

nearly half of men have this issue

it’s got to be that evil plant that maybe 5% of people regularly smoke!

it can’t be all the synthetic female hormones in our food/water. can’t be all the soy. no way. they make food cheap and they’re government approved for safety!
