Thread: Hyperthyroidism and Marijuana/THC

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6090909

Read down about the middle of the main paragraph to see where it says cannabis slows the thyroid

I found a stunning article about how marijuana reduces the production of prolactin (main thyroid hormone) which in turn treats people with hyperthyroidism.

Now heres my question, I think I may have hyperthyroidism, I have this nervousness about me all the time, i sweat way too much and my heart beat and metabolism is kinda high i'd say....

When I do smoke cannabis, my sweating just like vanishes...well normal sweating occurs but the majority of the nervousness sweatiness and high heart rate really go away after I smoke....

I wonder If I could possibly get a prescription under these conditions?


The rest of the article is interesting also, it reduces the production of testosterone, I actually kind of like that haha

Possibly, but it's unlikely, they have other treatments for hyperthyroidism. You should go get yourself tested for it anyway.

It's probably too early to say this, but you are one lucky bastard.

Guerilla, you and I should get high together some time.

Uh...you'll legally be allowed to smoke weed? No more stress of "what if I get booked?"
