If the truth will set you free, then sorting out some popular marijuana myths must be a step in the right direction.
• Myth #1: Smoking pot makes you grow man boobs. (Just so we are all on the same page, this refers to MEN smoking pot. No one’s suggesting that women who smoke pot will grow man boobs.)
Verdict? BUSTED. Although perpetuated by a few, there’s only one study from 2002 that claims to back this up, and it fails the test for many reasons. There are numerous studies that show there’s no link at all. You’re good.
• Myth #2: Hold it in, then cough or you don’t get off. “Whatever you do, DON’T BREATHE OUT! That’s gonna get you so high, man! And you gotta cough, dude; that’s how you know it’s good weed.”
