I saw your post about estrogen and nicotine. Do you know if there's anything out there about other forms of smoking (weed is the one I'm specifically curious about). Thanks š
this is an interesting question as well!
this one seems to be a toss up, however the endocannabinoid system is closely linked to and affected by hormones, and vice versa. it would seem as for some people, using estrogen hrt can cause the body to become more receptive to the effects of cannabinoids, whereas others find that using cannabis may make them more or less susceptible to processing estrogen HRT.
however, there are a very small amount of studies being done on this, and some of them seem dubious at best or rather flimsy. many of the studies i read have inconclusive answers, whereas with nicotine, there are a lot more studies being done on the matter. it seems that for most people, using cannabis will not affect estrogen HRT anywhere near as much due to nicotine as a substance neutralizes estrogens and dilutes the amount of them that you have in your body.
here’s some information on the matter, which shows the subjective and inconclusive results, ranging from person to person, study to study:

i hope that helps and makes sense! good luck to you in your journey, if you have any more questions feel free to ask!
