Can Marijuana Smoking Lead To Macro Pituitary Prolactinoma?

I have had a macro pituitary prolactinoma for 15 yrs. (taking Bromocriptine mesylate tablets to control). I used to smoke marijuana heavily as a teen which was just before I was diagnosed at age 23 with a golf ball size tumor. My question is whether 'pot' could have deposited heavy metals or toxins in my body that today affect how my pituitary works?



Thanks for your reply,
