ON CAPITOL HILL, by David YEPSEN
Colleague Jon Roos reports that Congressman Greg Ganske, a physician, has found a good argument to use to convince young men not to smoke pot. Ganske told an audience recently "about how marijuana has gotten stronger, how it leads to crack. ... And I wasn't sure I was getting through to some of the kids, so I said, 'By the way, you know when I was a physician, I used to take care of a fair number of young men who had breast enlargement.'"
Although that can occur naturally during puberty, Ganske explained, frequent use of marijuana also can have that effect because it contains a feminizing type of hormone.
"And furthermore, if you really smoke a lot of that I would always examine the boys' testicles because the testicles can get smaller. So if any of you are concerned about getting larger breasts or smaller testicles, don't smoke marijuana."
