Abstract
To investigate possible effects of chronic marijuana use on reproductive and stress hormones, we assayed testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, prolactin, and cortisol in 93 men and 56 women with a mean (± S.E.) age of 23.5 ± 0.4 years. Hormone values were compared among groups of subjects stratified according to frequency of marijuana use (frequent, moderate and infrequent;
N = 27, 18, and 30, respectively) and non-using controls (
N = 74). Chronic marijuana use showed no significant effect on hormone concentrations in either men or women.
