Yes, lowers your testosterone.

no. it depends on the user.

It's not going to directly impact your "gains", smoking might harm your lung capacity but other than that it's going to be a question of you being able to avoid shitty food. Additionally if you're too lazy to go to the gym as a result of smoking that could have an effect but it's another example of willpower/discipline being in play more than the weed.

Objective I have no idea.
However subjectively I doubt it makes much of a difference. If your diet, rest and lifts are correct than you'll gain, regardless of whether or not you smoke weed or tobacco.
Easton Rogers
No it doesn't, ask your/a doctor

you just simply look at what it's doing
>smoking it
bad for lungs, less oxygen during workout potentially
>any form of delivering THC and other cannabinoids to your system
cannabinoids bind to our cannabinoid receptors that we have naturally, our body uses endocannabinoids to regulate certain things. one specific example is that THC blocks the CB1 receptor, causing the signal your stomach sends your brain that its full, to not be received, meaning you can eat more and more without your brain thinking you're full (maximum dopamine release from eating, eating mass quantities, aka munchies)
I don't believe any studies have shown direct relations between cannabinoids and hormone levels, so I assume the only downside is that of potential laziness, lack of motivation, or damage to lungs. But it also carries the benefit of helping you eat big for big gainz after big lifts.

if you let it be, sure
