Has anyone here(particularly teenagers) noticed thinning hair anywhere on their scalp due to CHRONIC use of marijuana. I myself have noticed that my hair is thinning on the left side of my head, this may be due to puberty or whatever, but I also noticed that one of my dealers (biggest pothead ever) has a very pronounced bald spot on the center of his scalp and my freind who also smokes regularly is starting to thin on the crown of his head. I've reaserched this a little, and i did find SOME sorces that said chronic use may lead to hair loss. It's funny, becuase most of them were forums or Q and A sites that had people ask if their hairloss was attributed to marijuana use, not medical sites that always talk about the "studies,"(I think I found only one of these, and it didn;t look like a reliable source.) If anyone here has herd of marijuana cousing hairloss, please tell me.
think hair loss has more to do with genetics than anything... i'm slowly getting a receeding hair line and im 23.... but my older brotheres... none of which are 30 yet... are almost completely bald...... i smoke pot... they dont
my dad had a bald spot since he was 16 & never smoked once..i smoke alot & got very very thick hair to my knees....with no sign of ever thinning or receeeding so i'd have to say no..
well, marijuana negatively affects the kidney energy, which is an important paired organ with the liver, which governs the immune system and the digestive system. the liver is directly tied to the nipples, the eyes, and your hair, among other things. ever notice how young alcoholics have less hair? personally, i feel like i am losing more hair because of marijuana, so i barely smoke anymore. also, my eyes were getting cloudy (floaters) from smoking (and doing LSD). it's no coincidence. if you want to learn more about how things affect particular organs and what those organs govern so that you can find out why certain things are happening to you and then identify the cause, find some literature on the 12 meridians. this is all explain in striking detail in chinese medicine. peace. p.s. oh and yeah, genetics do play a role, but it's far more important to note how you yourself are responsible for much of what happens.
oh weird..i duno im sure alot of things could like make yer hair fall out. but i wouldnt mind if my hair started thinning out a bit from smoking some weed...my hair is sooo thick already! but i duno, hair loss cud be from many things. i mean, its weird when u get "problems" you think "uh oh, maybe its from smokin 2 much" but it maybe probably isnt.
