Hi! My brother has a problem with his adrenal glands. It’s some kind of serious disorder. We don’t know why he got it. His doctor said that many things can cause that kind of hormonal disorder but he isn’t sure what it is. I’m wondering Would smoking marijuana affect the adrenal glands? Thanks!

Well, I know that when your body is under constant stress your adrenal glands can stop to product the hormone cortisol. This hormone is necessary for general health. Also some infection or illness can cause this disorder. Long term use of marijuana can be harmful for endocrine system and may damage function of adrenal glands.

I have all the symptoms of adrenal tumor after smoking marijuana so im wondering the same thing although it might just be severe anxiety i have literally 100% of the adrenal tumor symptoms some of which are weird like abdominal stretch marks. And all these symptoms (except stretch marks) pooped up after getting really high one night.
