Question 10

im on day 5 on my period and i smoked cannabis, and it made my period heavier. that being said, can smoking cannabis affect my period ?

Accepted Answer

Controversial:  A 1980 study showed that rhesus monkeys that were given THC  had an increase in menstrual cycle duration. Many claims have been made by advocates of THC based on small studies (that often don't meet scientific scrutiny).  However, many claims have been refuted. I really don't think the issue has been well studied.
