You've still completely ignored my first counterpoint to your claim regarding cannabinoid receptors making cannabis "not quite the same"
We're not talking about soy milk.
Boy, your all over the place. And even your end result that your trying to get to is iffy at best.

"However, several other studies have had results that contradict the CARDIA study findings. A Harvard Medical School study found lower fasting insulin levels and less insulin resistance among marijuana users⁴ and Michigan State University researchers analyzed eight different studies with findings that indicated a 30% reduction in diabetes risk among marijuana users.⁵"

There is some evidence to suggest it can block testosterone though. Not much, Iffy.
Its got to be the plant though right, not the people raping the planet and its people for profit. Yeah, must be.
Here's a quick link I found for you.

Nothing in that link describes how cannabinoid receptors prevent cannabis from disrupting the endocrine system. Your inability/refusal to defend your initial statement is tiring, and completely typical of the average stoner defending their habit.
Don't forget to downvote.
Where are you getting that smoking or vaping cannabis will "disrupt the endocrine system"?
