Weed and hormones/acne, help?

For those of you who will come here and say that marijuana has no affect on hormones… I’ll go as far to agree it may not significantly affect it long term. But there is a drop in testosterone for 24 hours after smoking one joint.

Well.. I’ve been smoking weed casually from 16-18 and from 19-21 its been crazily out of control. Anywhere from a gram to 3 a day. Anywhere from 5 spliff and or 1-4 blunts a day.. I’ve also seen acne come as well as my life spin out of control because of the prevalent skin problem/overuse of weed.

So, I’m putting a halt to it. I know it how this all has changed me, so you don’t need to tell me :)

My question is… If weed causes a 24 hour depressed testosterone level and I’ve smoked all the time for around 3 years now… Could this hormone imbalance from smoking cause skin problems/delayed puberty/hampered gym results? and of course you can just add all the side affects of weed on the list too lmao.

Both weed and acne have controlled and destroyed my life (I won’t get into how and or why, it just has). Some may say it’s not an excuse, well its my truth and it’s one truth I’m no longer going to accept.

My second question is could this all be a linked chain of destruction?
Weed helping and or causing my skin problem, which in return ****s up my mental and emotional wellness. While weed also and now more lack of fitness/proper diet (yes i know acne from here too) has ****ed up my physical health.

Could the combination of these two be a huge source of my… unhappiness, not being where I want to be (though its all in my head), not following though, etc… I know the answer is yes, I just want to hear peoples opinions on this.

I as a weed smoker everyday several times a day will agree with you to a point. i don’t think the acme is due to the weed however based on what you eat to control the hunger you get from weed. i know the testosterone level drops a lot and will continue to be low until you purge your body of it. i don’t agree that weed is the reason your not where you want to be. i am very happy in my life and i smoke a lot. its all about moderation and control. you can still be who you want to be and keep weed in your life if you want to however the economic value will probably be the same unless you move to where it is more plentiful or cut down your usage. i feel your looking for an out as to why you feel and act the way you do and all though weed may be a contributing factor its not the main cause. the main cause is you

I myself have Tourettes and ADD. And was wondering if Adderall(For ADD) Increase tics for those with Tourettes or Tic disorders.

And another concern is loss of appetite while on Adderall. Or Stuttering

And if you could name any other side effects for Adderall that’d be great. Thanks

Amphetamines have been known to make tics worse in patients with Tourette’s syndrome. Adderall is a mixed amphetamine product indicated to treat ADD/ADHD. Yes, they can cause loss of appetite as well. In a clinical setting, a doctor will need to weigh the risks vs. benefits of this type of treatment. In some cases, it may be appropriate. There are "non" stimulating drugs for ADHD also, like Strattera. Check out the article below for more on ADHD drugs.

help with conclusion for an essay?

i’ve written my essay, now i just need help coming up with a conclusion paragraph! here’s what i have –

Every single year, over 400,000 people die in the United States from smoking cigarettes. Although many smokers claim that it helps them as an appetite suppressant, releases their anxiety, or it just simply makes them look cool, the many negative effects smoking brings always outweigh the positive. These effects are especially harmful on the smoker’s health, appearance, and can even be dangerous for those in his or her vicinity.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that smoking cigarettes is the leading cause of terminal lung disease and can lead to assorted cancers, coronary heart disease, strokes and diminished blood circulation. Smoking can also make something as simple as just breathing a problematic task for someone. People who smoke cigarettes often have coughing fits, even when they are not actually smoking. Furthermore, it is tough to quit smoking. Nicotine is an enslaving drug and giving it up can lead to unpleasant symptoms of withdrawal. Smokers who have recently kicked the habit are usually contentious or bitter, may shake a lot and receive terrible headaches.

Along with being poisonous to the person’s health, smoking cigarettes also conveys unattractive results to the smoker’s appearance. It’s no secret that smoking will cause someone’s breath to smell like an ashtray, and then go on to make their clothing and belongings smell like one too. Not only will it make their breath smell disgusting, but it will stain their teeth and eventually make them fall out as well. After the smoker’s mouth has begun to deteriorate, then there’s the defective aftermath the skin on their face has to deal with. Smoking heightens a person’s risk of developing wrinkles on his or her face, and a 2008 Israeli study published in the International Journal of Dermatology found that facial wrinkling was more likely to be seen among smokers than among non-smokers.

Now that the smoker is having difficulty with his or her own physical and mental wellness, there are the people around them to worry about. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, breathing other people’s smoke, known as secondhand smoke, can reduce a person’s lifespan. Secondhand smoke also causes cancers and respiratory diseases in both children and adults. In fact, secondhand smoke often consists of more cancer-causing and lethal chemicals than those encountered in the smoke a person inhales themselves. Smoking can even have a negative effect on someone who hasn’t been born yet. If a pregnant woman smokes during her pregnancy or draws in someone else’s smoke regularly, she can pass undesired prenatal diseases to the developing infant.

The most effective conclusions very briefly summarize your main point (thesis), and what you presented in the body. To end off, you could have a rhetorical question which will leave the reader thinking, a call to action that will make the reader want to do something about the issue you described, etc. There are lots of ways to wrap it all up, so don’t get caught up thinking there’s a particular right or wrong way.
