    I have hypothyroidism and about half a year after I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism I started smoking weed. I smoked about every day for 6 months and my TSH levels got alot worse. When I stopped they balanced out again. Im just now trying to smoke weed but on occasion and definitely not consecutive days in a row. If my numbers go up again ill probally have to stop for good. There is really no reliable studies out there testing the effects of marijuana on the thyroid so who knows how much it effects it. But if your thyroid isn't completely balanced out or you don feel well. I suggest not smoking.
