To come back on topic, just Googling "cannabis gynecomastia" produces loads of material. Clearly the question of whether weed causes gyno is controversial but there doesn't seem to be any evidence that it inhibits it.

On whether weed is too risky to smoke regularly, this like so many other things in life, is a matter of personal risk assessment, which may have a very different result from public risk assessment. With countless millions of pot smokers around, even a very low incidence of adverse events can reasonably be seen as a serious public health problem. Similar considerations apply for example to conventional HRT. Bryony is right to say that one should be aware of the risks but it is your personal assessment that counts for you. For the record, I have only smoked it once, but since I gave up smoking the much more dangerous tobacco a long, long time ago, I have been scared to smoke anything in case I get hooked again; the act of smoking seemed to me almost as compulsive as nicotine is addictive. Serious obsessions or addictions are much more dangerous since personal risk assessment goes out of the window
