Cannabis use makes you 4x likelier to get depressed: - Depression rises over time with use, and most surprisingly in people who were not depressed when they started - Depression is not a strong predictor of seeking out cannabis. It drives very few people to use it - The depression emerges as a consequence of the cannabis and THC use - Solid epidemiological evidence: 4 times likelier to develop chronic major depression @hubermanlab

Cannabis lowers eye pressure only while you're high: - In most patients it does lower the pressure - but only during the window you're high - The smoke inflames and dries out your eyes and it's bad for your lungs - Being high 24/7 for the next 20 years is not a realistic prescription - Eye pressure runs on a circadian rhythm and peaks at night in the early morning hours - That's why some patients use edible forms before bed to cover the nighttime peak Jeffrey Goldberg on @hubermanlab

Cannabis critics feel trapped, with even some doctors and police siding with their pot-using peers. It’s leading to legal threats, cop calls and arguments straight out of high school.

Chronic cannabis use lowers testosterone: - Smoking marijuana raises prolactin in men and women which pulls down dopamine and testosterone - Chronic means more than twice a week. It also elevates aromatase the enzyme that converts testosterone into estrogen - That is part of why gynecomastia shows up in about 35% of males - If your levels still look fine you either started with a high ceiling or you carry very little aromatase @hubermanlab
