community Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 1 year ago

Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.
