Results haven’t been published yet but researchers at the University of Amsterdam suggest that regular smoking of cannabis contributes directly to hair loss.
Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug and is used by roughly two million people in the UK, despite the many known negative side effects. The study of men and woman aged between 18 and 60 who regular smoked the drug found that young males in particular were prone to the effects of regular smoking and hair loss is one of them.
If we think about it hypothetically for a second, the link between marijuana, skunk, green, gear – whatever you want to call it – and thinning hair makes sense, and can be inferred through previous studies. Regular cannabis use harms the body in two distinct ways – via the effect of the substance itself and via negative lifestyle changes, such as increased stress levels, irregular eating habits and poor dietary intake.
============================================================================
Recently I noticed that my normal thick head of hair was starting to noticeably thin. The time line matches up with my receiving my MM card & starting to use pot on a daily basis.
Since I have not been to the local hair cutting place since March, it is apparent that my hair has stopped growing since then. (I avoid the barber shop due to COVID risk).
Since I've had the luxury of a full head of hair my entire adult life, this is no great loss. Many of my business associates went bald at half my age.
Interestingly, pot use has not affected my beard or fingernails, which are all made out of the same protein, keratin.
