How does marijuana affect your hypothyroid?

Answer 1

I also have hypothyroidism and have been smoking for over ten years. I don't really think it does affect it specifically. Not anymore than the usual side effects from low thyroid or smoking do.

I just wanted to update this answer. (I am not the original respondant.) I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about a year ago after suffering symptoms for a few years. I smoke marijuana and I've noticed a definite affect. For me, marijuana can sometimes bring on negative effects. Nothing life-threatening (that I know of) but very uncomfortable. In addition to the normal panic and anxiety that sometimes hits me from smoking, I can also get neck and jaw pain and an overall sort of "twitchiness" and trembling in my hands. It also seems to make me really cold sometimes. FOr me, smoking marijuana is a roll of the dice. Sometimes I'll smoke and everything is fine and enjoyable. Other times it's miserable. Just my two cents!

Answer 2

No, I'm am a nurse and it can't be harmful, even with medical conditions, such as yours, I don't recomend marijuana, only because it's illegal, otherwise go for it :)
