Newly published study shows that men who smoke marijuana or have smoked it in the past have a higher sperm count and higher testosterone than men who never smoked.
>Men who have smoked marijuana at some point in their life had significantly higher concentrations of sperm when compared with men who have never smoked marijuana, according to new research led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health >The study also found that among marijuana smokers, greater use was associated with higher serum testosterone levels.
What is unsure yet is if Marijuana affects these processes or if higher testosterone/fertility men are more easily drawn to cannabis.
So Jow Forums, what do you think? Is this the "Alpha Drug", the Chad of substances? How can non-smokers even compete ? >inb4 dude
>adds to testosterone and sperm count >they eventually grow bitch tits
Yeah no
Jacob Hall
Who funded the study? How was the study conducted? How much data about these subjects lifestyles were used? There are so many things you have to consider when you see that a new "study" has came out. Remember this for all future studies as well.
I smoked ganj errday for 15 years and I have high test. 700+ for a 35 year old, and that was when I quit smoking for 6 months and was drinking a lot more (alcohol lowers your test).
Ayden Carter
Hahaha they will lie about anything to convince people to smoke drugs and be good little pozzed effeminate goy slaves.
Any of you who use weed or other drugs are part of the problem and deserve a prime seat in a gas chamber.

Yea because blacks smoke weed and have higher test and sperm counts.

Nicholas Roberts
tl-dr: your serum testosterone stays high because you are too high to fap it into low levels.
So many things control test and sperm that studies are used to market things by saying "oh look! a study says your dick will get bigger and girls will like you if you use it!"
Thomas Rivera
do not overdo it on the weed but some is of course good for you dummies
>Are all scientists full of shit who will say anything to justify their funding? No, but the honest ones do not get any funding and are therefor irrelivent. Western society has a serious problem with rampant dishonesty that is going to be our downfall.
Sick cunts smoke weed, science says. More at eleven..
Cameron Collins
The direct link sperm count is not established. But the there did found a direct correlation between higher consumption if cannabis and higher concentration of testosterone.
Imagine being addicted to weed and forming a psychosis where nothing is enjoyable if there isn't weed

Luke King
>testosterone is correlated with risk taking behavior >smoking an illegal plant is a risk >therefore risk-takers with high testosterone are more likely to have tried weed

Too high to fap? You've clearly never done any sweet leaf.
Doesn't really work like that, I smoke a gram a day(yes its degenerate) but it's not like I have a bad day when I don't smoke, it's more like a bad habit that you keep thinking about. Than again didn't not smoke for more than 2 days. Doesn't make your day worse, you just think it would be better with.

You aren’t ruining anything. One of the best things I ever did for myself was to start ignoring anti-weed propaganda and do whatever the fuck I want in my free time.
Its funny how Jow Forums is so vehemently against liberal and jew propaganda but they have no problem forcing their own propaganda down your throat.

Litteral faggot or asshole? The potheads I'm around don't show to be having increased homosexual tensions even compared to before they smoked weed. Maybe it's just your environment as you surround yourself with people that are alike.

>If you've ever spent a long period of time around potheads you'll know they're all faggot and this is true. Are you a fucking retard?
1- You're born Homo/Hetero. Weed doesn't/can't change you sexual orientation. That's downright retarded 2- If it indeed worked that way, if weed did indeed turn you homo, then potheads wouldn't reproduce, and therefore they wouldn't have children, leading more and more humans to not smoke weed since if they did, their reproduction would not happen. So "not smoking cannabis" would become a must-have geçetical trait for survival.
TL;DR You're fuckng retarded for thinking weed turns you homo, and I just proved it.
I hope that you're trolling, otherwise, I'm baffled that your retardation hasn't killed you already.
Jack Gonzalez
Maybe you have that cock buried so far up your arse it's interfering with your perceptions, faggotry doesn't literally mean 'himosexual tensions' you daft euro spack. Pot smoking correlates massively with: video gaming pornography usage sedentary lifestyle laziness, idleness Tolerance, equality and diversity bullshit Commies and leftism Anti-traditionalism Anti-masculinity Anti-competitiveness Lack of drive and motivation to improve, become better and reach any goal whatsoever Disobedience towards any 'system' of thought or rules that may pull you away from your pot smoking faggotry and make you productive at the cost of sacrificing you immediate pleasure for the greater good of the community. From above, criminality. Lack of respect for law. Happiness to bend/break rules in general because you have to do it anyway to get your fix.
All of these are either causes of or caused by low Test to Est balance, correlation is undoubted Jens, I cannot believe that you could argue with any of this. 99% of highly successful people do not and never have spoked pot. Yes I did pull that percentage out of my arse, no that doesn't make it false.
Aaron Miller
>weed is for degenerates If weed is degenerate, then what is alcohol? Super degenerate?
Alcohol is very bad for you, when compared to cannabis. Scientifically there is not even a debate. Alcohol is one of biggest killers, on car crashes, overdose/alcohol poisoning, choking on your own vomit (like Jimmy Hendrix), violence (especially domestic violence) and the list goes on. Health problems with the liver, pancreas, ulcers, and more.
So, are you a alcohol consuming degenerate?
Isaac Lee
I bet there is correlation because people who are willing to take the risk are just more masculine in general.

half right, goal of the government is to get everybody hooked on benzos so we cant leave the system easily. However psychs (lsd, shrooms, dmt etc...) scare the shit out of the government because it undermines the societal structure they worked up.

Drinking and smoking cigarettes increases test too faggot. So does working outside. So does being outside. They never say how much. Its just like you need to masturbate to porn 40x a month or else you will get dick cancer. Its all bullshit. They are supposed to test a hypothesis and they care saying correlation is causation. Can you belive these (((scientists)))???
>smoking it for non medical use is mentally degrading And that's none of your fucking business, nigger. What if that's what you want in the first place? You don't smoke to become smarter.
Cameron Reed
People confuse schizophrenia with the actual symptoms smoking weed on a regular basis can cause, which are being paranoid and severely anxious.
That said I had mild forms if shizophrenia like hearing whispers, other sounds and thinking my flatmate was calling me when he was already long asleep.
But that was a joke compared to the mind-losing episode I had:
A retarded and cringe inducing joke that wasn't funny in the slightest, even on weed, triggered me into getting overly serious and taking my mate to shut up and eat his goddamn pizza. It was like the reversed situation of being laid back and chill as fuck. He was stunned and asked why I just ordered him to eat his pizza faster than he wants to. And that question blew my fucking mind. I was so unconfortable with his talking and even more uncomfortable and baffled by my reaction, which i couldn't explain. My mind then was turned to mush as I was unable to comprehend questions or sentences at all, like completely losing track of everything that was being said was forgotten before the sentences were even uttered completely. Fuck, it wasnt just verbal, I could not even think my own thoughts through before forgetting what I was even thinking about in the first place.

this means when your a teen. high T bros take more risks. smoking pot is a risk when your young. you could piss of your parents and get kicked out. teachers could catch you and you'd get suspended.

There is a 99% percentage chance that you have down syndrome. Yes I did pull that percentage out of my arse, no that doesn't make it false.
Hollywood in itself is a good example of how fucking wrong you are. Artists are known for smoking pot. American presidents and other world leaders have smoked pot.
And you have your badass legends like Hunter S Thompson who is the exact opposite of everything you described. Like pot is not only for lefties, a lot of libertariand, typically right wing use or advocate for pot use.
This is clrearly a political and perception issue you have with cannabis.
All I can do is ask you to prove what you say. But you've already shown that you're talking straight out of your ass, so I'm not expecting much.

The majority of scientists have always been idiots. Science is and has always been carried forward by a few stable geniuses. The rest are either too laterally thinking to bother with serious research or too linearily thinking to see understand the context of what they are studying.

Brain damage is such a meme term either way. Only heavy metal accumulation and oxygen deprivation really damage the brain in the sense that the either kill or disable cells. Some brain area shrinking is not brain damage, but an adaptive response. The brain will keep adapting to the demands of the circumstances throughout one's life.

In your 20's you need to set yourself up for your 30's & 40's because that's when the shit really hits the fan. If you're smoking, stop. If you're drinking to excess, stop. If you're fat, fix it.
William Mitchell
You can say the same about smoking cigarettes, does smoking tobacco increase your testosterone? No, it doesn't, but taking the risk of smoking is typical male behavior and therefore men who do it more often are likely to have more masculine personality and hormonal traits.
This is the first thing you should consider when reading this clickbait shit.

Weed severdely influences brain development which goes on till 23. If you absolutely have to smoke weed then you should wait till youre 24 and then theres still a chance it may trigger episodes.

Julian Baker
That's bullshit. Ever know guys that smoke a lot of dope? They have tits like a bitch.
Sad to hear what happened. Weed does exacerbate mental problems.
It's interesting to hear about these instances when people actually lose their mind on weed, as you did.
At least it doesn't seem like it was a dangerous situation for you or the others.
And for feelings of anxiety and paranoia, I've found that it's different when you're in a country where it's legal, you don't feel anxious for breaking the law. But also, weed can have a different effect, like if you are already anxious at the time of consuming, it can either reinforce the anxiousness or make it disappear. Depends on a lot of things, mostly your own biology and way your body reacts to weed. Different strains and such can also have very different effects, also if it's the beginning of harvest and the end of harvest. The ratio of THC to CBD and other cannabinoids. Lots of parameters.
For me, wees made me euphoric, for a friend of mine it made him depressed(so he stopped). So yeah, I have first hand account of that weed acts differently on people and is not for everybody
Andrew Ross
>I can't figure out if you're a shill or just a dumbass retard for propping his personality or his lifestyle as something to aspire to I was simply responding to someone saying that >smoking cannabis made you a leftie, pro-diversity, a socialist/communist
That's all. I'm not advocating for hard drug use or extreme ways if living. The dude was a madman is many ways. I referred to him as a legend because he did some crazy shit and give no fucks.
I'm not shilling. Unless you consider defending one's point of view as shilling. Which in a way, everybody is doing.
I'll aslo admit that cannabis, or drugs in general are not all good, some worse than others, but also moderation is the key. Just like alcohol in fact, moderation is key.
Henry Collins
>moderation is key >bro i'm giving myself brain damage in moderation, that's the key
ok
Luke Robinson
Not really true. Sure the brain finishes developping after 18, until you're around 23, but weed only really starts messing your brain if you start young, before the age of 15 is the Scientific consensus.
I'd advocate for legalisation with an age restriction, +18. This is better than weed being criminalised, because it reduces the chances of teens having access to weed.
In the USA, it's way easier for a teenager under 18 to buy cannabis, than it is for anyone under 21 to buy alcohol. Legalising deals with the problem of teen consumption, making it very hard for them to acquire cannabis.
A little extract from a study: >The authors found that adolescent cannabis users reporting initiation prior to age 15 demonstrated poorer performance on tasks of sustained attention, impulse control, and executive functioning [30]. Overall, the majority of data support poorer cognitive performance on measures of attention and learning, and memory in adolescent users of cannabis, however frequency and severity of use is likely to play a role, particularly in those reporting younger age of initiation ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3930618/
Jaxon Lewis
What do you think shitposting does to your brain?
Dylan Powell
>brain damage There is no brain damage if you start after the age of 15. So no, that's not how this works.
Look here, I'll make it easy and simple, so I'll compare it to alcohol: -A single beer won't cause brain damage -But a full bottle of vodka in a short time will do some brain damage.
Weed doesn't even kill neurons like alcohol does. But let's say you start drinking alcohol whe you're 12, your brain isn't developped enough so a regular alcohol consumption, even though it's a low dose for an adult, to a lid it could ruin his life, make him retarded for real.
So no. No brain damage for people 15+ And for mental illness (not brain damage) it will exacerbate pre-existing conditions.
If you're fucked in the head, then drugs can only make it worse, regardless of which drug.
Cannabis is one of the safest drugs, all around. That doesn't mean its 100% safe. It mostlt depends on the people using it their age and their genetic predispositions
It's not all black and white, it's grey.
Ian Lewis
