Marijuana's Unexpected Effect on Sperm Count Revealed in Harvard Study

inverse.com/amp/article/53055-marijuana-increased-sperm-count-in-harvard-study
There’s plenty of research showing that marijuana can improve things in the bedroom, but it’s not as clear whether it has the same effect in your pants. Studies about the effect of marijuana use on sperm count have had mixed results, at best. Guys who smoke weed, however, can take comfort in the findings of a large study published by Harvard University scientists on Tuesday. The sperm of marijuana smokers, it seems, is alright. Maybe even more than alright.


As the research team writes in the Human Reproduction study, the men who had smoked one or two joints of marijuana at least once in their lifetimes had a sperm count and concentration that was significantly higher than that of people who had never smoked marijuana in their lives, which is generally a good thing for a man’s fertility. More intense marijuana users also appeared to have higher levels of the sex hormone testosterone, as well.

“Our findings were contrary to what we initially hypothesized,” said Feiby Nassan, Ph.D., the study’s lead author and research fellow at Harvard Chan School of Public Health. Previous research on marijuana smoking had suggested that doing so lowered sperm counts.

Degenerate, but please continue my friends profit from your stupidity, you are as pathetic as men that buy premium snapchat from thots.

stoners seem to think that they're the majority, in the UK only 8% of adults smoke weed regularly though.

Please fuck off and stop forcing your addiction on everyone else.

It very well may increase your sperm count, but it completely takes away your drive

Because all the men are to busy giving their dogs blow jobs instead of impregnating their women

Fucking Retards.

I vape a bowl every day for the last few months and I have never been so fucking horny in my life. I can edge for ages before cumming the most intense orgasms I have ever felt. If you smoke weed with a girl you are most likely to get laid.

I have found the opposite effect actually, it tends to increase my libido compared to the long period where I wasn't smoking.

>anecdotal evidence
Why is this board is in such retarded state now?

Everything on this site is anecdotal.

Well you could also eat more healthy and work out to increase your testosterone.
But sure do drugs to get whiter sperm, that will help.

That's what I was thinking, looks like some shit i'd slap together when i was 14.

this has been known for hundreds of years, THC reduces testosterone

It says it increases it dipshit.

>Marijuana's Unexpected Effect on Sperm Count Revealed in (((Harvard))) Study

Smoke daily and try to fuck daily.

This. They didn't even control for preexisting factors. In order for this study to have any scientific merit they should have checked testosterone levels before any pot was smoked, divided people into two similiar groups, allowed for one of the groups to smoke, wait a couple of years and then compare the results. But I guess doing science isn't as fun as baseless speculation that can affect the lives of other people.

>People who have smoked weed
>people who have not smoked weed
Seems OK to me

or we've felt the long term effects of the drug over 10+ years and we're trying to warn younger users, probably to no avail since your generation is even more foolish than mine was. which is saying something because we voted for obama.

We don't seem to have any problem getting our women to crank out 10 kids in under 15 years, so I'm not bothered by being called "BTFO" over this.

However, our own studies done at the request of the police and the ministry of interior found that regular drinkers have twice the chance of causing a car accident, drug abusers have a five times higher chance, drunk people behind the wheel a 10 times higher chance,
and people on weed at the moment of driving
have a
TWENTY-FIVE (25)
times higher chance of causing a traffic accident.

FOR OLD TIMES SAKE

>Prototip: meat eaters have low sperm count.
LEL
I'm going to need some sauce on that.

Unless people who decide to smoke weed already have a higher baseline testosterone level, which affects sperm count (probable, since high testosterone is linked to risky behaviours). In that case smoking weed could be neutral or even harm sperm count, and the results would still point to its benefits. That's why you need to establish sperm count and testosterone levels before you conduct the experiment. Otherwise the results are worthless.

I lol'd, youre being lied to.
Especially when you say drinking and driving is LESS likely to cause an accident than smoking some bud. That's probably the most absurd thing I've ever heard. Alcohol has a totally different effect on the mind and body. This is basic stuff Vladamir

Yeah so normal ppl instead of incel cucks ofcourse sperm and T is better. Has no correlation with the marijuana compounds.

That's nice, but so that you know, female animals can't give you testosterone.

Good job pointing out how little you know about hunting.
Fucking nogun countries, I swear...

I had hunters and lots of wine yard and other producers in family, so i pretty much know more than you. You think you snow walking loner are some big shit? Maybe you should learn the difference between private gun and hunting gun. When you join hunting organization you follow some rules here, including when you trying to sell meat. If you just going to eat any meat you might get diseases. I know you in America aren't quite there yet to the game of ancient European hunters.

nothing wrong with weed, it's just like anything. it's the people that do it literally all the time that give it a bad name. i only smoke a couple times a year. if you smoke daily your self medicating and wasting money.

user, you hunt the MALES.

>Harvard-led researchers recruited 40 young adults – 20 marijuana users and 20 non-users – to see if what is true in the brains of rats is also true in the brains of college students. Sure enough, human marijuana users had changes in volume, density and topography in both of the amygdala and nucleus accumbens.
>marijuana use creates physical changes in the brain associated with addiction. And, the researchers point out, these results were seen in non-dependent, young adult users.

>What are the effects of even heavier pot use on the brain?

>That’s the question of the second study, published in the Nature journal, Neuropsychopharmacology. Again, the study used MRI imaging to ask if the effects of cannabis-based chemicals seen in rat brains are also seen in human brains. This time the study compared heavy marijuana smokers to occasional smokers to see if overall brain changes are more extreme, the more you smoke. And it looked outside just the structures of addiction to explore changes in overall brain structures: how does marijuana use affect the brain?

>The study found reduced grey matter volume in nearly all brain regions that are rich in the “receptors” that can trap and respond to cannabis-based chemicals. These regions include a long list of structures, almost all of which are part of a network that controls motivation, emotion, and emotional learning. Here’s an important part: the degree to which these brain areas changed was due to one of two things – either heavy use or starting use during adolescence. Long-term heavy users had the same reductions in grey matter volume as lighter users who started in their teens.

>A NIDA-funded brain imaging study has shown that regular users of marijuana have less gray matter than nonusers of the drug in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), a brain region that contributes to impulse control, decision-making, and learning. Such a deficit could make it more difficult to change counterproductive behaviors, including drug use.

>The strongest evidence that cannabis use is a contributory cause of schizophrenia comes from longitudinal studies of large representative samples of the population who have been followed over time to see if cannabis users are at higher risk of developing schizophrenia. The earliest such study was a 15-year prospective investigation of cannabis use and schizophrenia in 50,465 Swedish conscripts. The study found that those who had tried cannabis by age 18 were 2.4 times more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia than those who had not 16 and the risk of this diagnosis increased with the frequency of cannabis use.
>Zammit et al 17 reported a 27-year follow-up of the Swedish cohort that also found a dose-response relationship between frequency of cannabis use at baseline and risk of schizophrenia during the follow-up. The relationship between cannabis use and schizophrenia persisted when the authors statistically controlled for the effects of other drug use and other potential confounding factors, including a history of psychiatric symptoms at baseline.

In Canada like 50% of adults use pot.

So a failed nation on the brink of collapse. You guys are at least 10% more fucked than we are maybe it has nothing to do with the pot but please refrain from comment until further studies can be done.

I loved the shit out of weed in high school. Smoked pretty much all throughout 15-20 years old. Shortly thereafter though shit made me paranoid and introverted as hell. Became total nightmare fuel. Sucks, I do remember the prime smoking years fondly though.

cannabinoids are good for your body, but there's plenty of side effects to smoking weed to get them, and dudeweeds are not great for society. i used to be one.

Do you still fear chemtrails?

You can smoke 1000 different plans in Slovenia, why choose weed? Because it's popular. Smoke yarrow instead.

It was more like paranoid as in like what my family and friends thought of me, where my life is going, etc. Shit like that.
