A member asked:

Please tell me if it is true that smoking weed causes hair loss?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not reported: In fact, very much the opposite, at least in men. One of the side effects of heavier cannabis use is increased levels of estrogen and decreased levels of testosterone, which reduces male pattern hair loss (frontal balding) in men.
