Does Marijuana Intake Cause Elevation In Estrogen Levels?
I have very high estrogen levels, can marijuana add to this level being higher? I am taking hormone pellets but 18 weeks after estrogen pellet insertion and testosterone, my estrogen is 230. Can smoking pot daily, small amount at night to help with sleep, be bad?

no it lowers female hormones and this is thought due to its effects on the brain regulation of them.
And, while it is likely that marijuana will help with sleep there are two reasons NOT to: 1) smoking anything around bedtime might cause a fire when you go to sleep and forget where a lit thing winds up. 2) anything that works for sleep (bedtime stories for 4 year olds included) will make you expect to have that thing at bedtime and not to sleep if you do not have it.
