Brief Answer:
Smoking lowers while weed increases the uric acid levels

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Last research has shown that cigarette smoke lowers the uric acid levels. Interestingly enough, however, the correlation is only apparent in men.

While smoking weed has shown to increase the mean serum uric acid level and this may be due to the constriction of the arteries which lowers the oxygen circulation in the body, as a result of decreased blood flow to the essential organs of the body; resulting in poor elimination of uric acid in the body;

So the answer to your question it is that smoking is lowers the acid uric levels in men, while weed increases it

Hope this is helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
