Just did some research myself and here are the results:
In animal models (mice), the subjects that were given marijuana showed immediate drastic decrease in GH secretion due to somatostatin release (like JJ said).
However, the important part of this study was that this effect seemed to be only temporary and mediated by the CB1 receptors (cannabinoid binding sites 1) in the hypothalamus, which are quickly downregulated as a result of frequent use. In other words, it seems that weed lowered GH in mice, yes, but only for mice that were “newbies” and once mice developed minimal tolerance they no longer had dropping GH levels due to marijuana.

Here’s the summary of the study:
Whew for a second I was afraid I would have to drop the weed from my ghrp-6 appetite stack haha
GHRP-6 + weed = $100 extra on your grocery bill each week, but all the appetite you could ever need to grow like a mofo.

Man I wish that would work for me… I find it so hard to eat a lot of good stuff (good for you) when I’m blazed, I just wanna eat Chipotle or some ribs or something… Power thru it though
