Low Testosterone

Low T is less common among men under 30, but it can still occur. Contributing factors include:

  • high cholesterol levels
  • high blood pressure
  • being overweight or obese
  • drinking excessive amounts of alcohol
  • using illegal drugs
  • using anabolic steroids
  • taking certain prescription medications such as steroids and opiates, especially in excess
Some cases of low T may be linked to other medical conditions, such as:
  • hypothalamic or pituitary disease or tumors
  • injuries, tumors, or other conditions affecting your testicles including inflammation related to childhood mumps
  • inherited diseases, such as Kallman’s syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, or Down syndrome
  • diabetes, liver disease, or AIDS
  • cancer treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy
Physical changes

A number of physical changes can happen to your body if you have low testosterone levels. Testosterone is sometimes referred to as the “male” hormone. It helps increase muscle mass, leads to body hair, and contributes to an overall masculine form. Decreases in testosterone can lead to physical changes including the following:


Emotional changes

In addition to causing physical changes, having low levels of testosterone can affect you on an emotional level. The condition can lead to feelings of sadness or depression. It can also degrade your overall sense of well-being. Some people have trouble with memory and concentration and experience lowered motivation and self-confidence.

Testosterone is a hormone that affects emotional regulation. Depression has been linked to men with low testosterone. This could result from a combination of the irritability, decreased sex drive, and fatigue that can come with low testosterone.

You can generally raise your testosterone level above your natural baseline by having a decent diet and exercising. You can lower it by being a sedentary cuck who blogs for BuzzFeed.

It seems like there’s a bit of a time constraint for getting in the mood after smoking. Researchers tested testosterone levels post THC in rodents back in the 1980s. The psychoactive caused a spike in testosterone shortly after smoking. In low doses, this spike continued for about an hour. In high doses, it only lasted 20 minutes.

After that, testosterone levels dipped lower than baseline. If you’re ready for a little love, perhaps it’s best to take advantage of the herb’s aphrodisiac effects shortly after consuming.

Though, rodent studies may or may not amount to much when it comes to humans. So, you have to take this with a grain of salt.

Tl;dr weed spikes then drops your testosterone. My guess is continuous use would keep it low and create a hormonal unbalance.
