Pot-smokers may have healthier sperm
Good news, or bad news, for men who smoke the weed. Your sperm kicks arse. But, as the wise ones say, that's no reason to light up.
Pot-smokers may have healthier sperm

Men who have smoked marijuana may be more fertile than those who've never touched a joint, new data suggest, surprising researchers who had expected the opposite.
Men who smoked more than two joints in their lifetime had a significantly higher sperm concentration than those who had never smoked marijuana: on average, 62.7 million sperm per milliliter of semen versus 45.4 million/mL, Harvard researchers report in the journal Human Reproduction.
The pattern was similar when researchers looked at the men's sperm count. The count was higher, on average, in men who had ever smoked marijuana, with no significant differences between those who had only smoked weed in the past and those who were currently using it.
Observational studies like this one can't prove cause and effect - and the lead author of the study was quick to warn against assuming that marijuana actually caused the men in the study to have healthier sperm.
"These findings do not mean that using marijuana will increase sperm counts," lead author Feiby Nassan emphasised in an email. "These results should not be interpreted as a reason to smoke marijuana."
Nassan's team studied 1,143 samples of semen obtained from 662 men treated at the fertility centre at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital between 2000 and 2017. They also studied hundreds of blood samples from these men to determine levels of reproductive hormones. The men were asked to report past and current marijuana use in a questionnaire.
Weed smokers also performed better on another metric used to measure fertility, the level of follicle stimulating hormone found in the blood.
And they were also less likely to have poor sperm motility, which is the ability of sperm to swim toward an egg.
However, when researchers studied sperm DNA integrity - which assesses breakages in strands of sperm DNA - and levels of other hormones, there were no significant differences between marijuana smokers and non-smokers.
The study is "a real surprise," said reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Channa Jayasena of Imperial College London, who was not involved in the study. "We obviously need to be very careful about members of the public jumping on to this."

They are taking the piss. So if you have 2 joints at 17 you have more sperm at 70 than someone who never had a joint? Cmon....
Regular pot smokers probably do have a higher number. they are so zonked they never get round to having sex so they are always carrying a full load

I can just see the healthier sperm getting distracted, looking for the fridge for some munchies.......
Re: Pot-smokers may have healthier sperm
What a great study to be part of smoking pot all day and jacking off.

Re: Pot-smokers may have healthier sperm
Bullshit. If the study had found the result they were hoping it would (the opposite from what they found) it would certainly have been interpreted as a reason not to smoke it.CEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 8:46 pm
