Hi,
Marijuana is mostly used as recreational product. It may be used to treat multiple sclerosis and nerve pain. However, it can be harmful to some people. Women who smoke marijuana may suffer from breast pain. The nicotine in cigarettes and marijuana may narrow or constrict the blood vessels above the waist in females, leading to breast pain. According to some clinical studies, marijuana can cause gynecomastia or enlargement of breast in both male and female.
The exact mechanism is unknown but it is assumed that marijuana may cause estrogen spikes. Higher estrogen may help to increase breast tissue and develop gynecomastia or enlargement of breast. Quit smoking marijuana may help to subside these breast symptoms over time.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
