    I’ve never heard that one and I can’t really think of any medical reason why that would be so…

  • sweet tooth says:

    i never heard of a study based on smoking weed and acne but i know that you can see a dermatologist for safer options
    unless you live in amsterdam or in a deserted area you shouldn’t even if you don’t mind the health risk because it’s illegal and you might end up in jail and that’s not good for acne either

  • Looking says:

    no, not true…If anything smoking pot makes acne worse, because you tend to eat lots of junk food & sweets when high.

      NEVER SAY NOT TRUE especially if you don’t know all the facts. I am 30 and have battled with acne as an adult for the last 5 years. I have done everything imaginable to help my face including spending obscene amounts of money on professional products. Nothing has helped! I recently started smoking marijuana and my face is more clear than EVER. Nothing else has changed in my diet or lifestyle other than smoking. Don’t know what it is but it’s working for me.

    I’ve never heard of it, though it’s not impossible that it has an effect, since it mimics female hormones. So if you want to grow man boobs, go ahead . . .

    I hate to do this but semi agree with new smoker , I also had pretty bad acne on my face , started smoking marijuana and hey where did it go. I’m in no way saying , smoke weed to cure acne , but it can help if someone suffers from “Stress Acne.” I still don’t recommended this for anyone who just wants to clear acne.

    It is possible that marijuana could help with acne. THC has anti-inflamitory properties. it also helps cope with stress.

    Maybe I am just grabbing at straws. But I started to get adult acne in my mid-20s. In my teens and early twenties my skin was clean and clear ( and I used to smoke). Then I stopped and the acne started. Last year I started smoking again, and the acne is almost gone. I’ve always had a healthy diet, with lots of organic foods. So I don’t think its diet.

    The only difference in life style is big Bob Marley spliffs. Also, when I’m high I eat fruits and things instead of junk food for munchies.

    Go figure!!!
