I asked a friend if he wanted to smoke up with me before we went out. He freaked out and said that I should never smoke on a cycle because it would make the test convert to estrogen and give me gyno. I asked him to back it up, but he just said he heard that a million times. I know this is problably bullshit, could someone reassure me on this? IP: Logged |

yeah marijuana can cause gyno if you smoke large enough amounts of it,but not because it makes test convert to estrogen,but because pot contains natural plant estrogens like in soy,but unlike soy these estrogens like to bond to estrogen receptor sites and hang out there for awhile.manana....

Your friend is right bro. Just do a search on marijuana and you will get plenty of past posts about it. A lot of people still toke during a cycle but I wouldn't risk it. If you have to keep it to a minimum. Alcohol can give you Gyno too. Marijuana definately lowers your test but I don't think there's any clear studies on how much it lowers it and the time frame it lasts. I heard it's a small amount.
