Cannibas on test levels

What’s going on friends. Been a while.

So I usually check bloods around this time of year to make sure I’ve bounced back to my usual lower ranged test levels. Typically I’m around the 11-12 range. Today I got my results back and it was 235 pmol/L. If I’m converting it right that’s right around 6.7 to compare to last year. Almost half. Other than some sort of recovery issue (250mg test/week for 20 weeks) from last summer I can only think of maybe legal weed being a cause. I don’t do a ton but I was into a habit of a smaller amount nightly for sleeping. Maybe 2mg either edibles or vaping.

Has anyone seen their levels dropping from this?

I’d say it’s more likely it’s a recovery issue. I used to eat shitloads of edibles when I started grappling, and it had no effect on my levels, personally. That being said, that’s completely anecdotal. The articles I can find, bounce between testosterone levels being lower while using cannabis, to testosterone levels actually being higher. I don’t think it’s at a point where it’s been studied enough to give you a difinitive answer. My advice would be to cut out the devil’s lettuce for a few months, and test again.

I noticed the same thing with the articles. I’ve always bounced back to the same or just slightly lower levels so I agree, the best option is probably retest after no edibles for a bit.
