Q:
What has
scientific data said about the effects of marijuana on male fertility?
(immediate and long-term if possible)
A:
Human and
animal studies have suggested an acute drop in testosterone levels, and
lowered sperm count with more abnormal forms and motility, and long term
there are potential effects such as gynecomastia (male breast growth) and
smaller testicle size. Overall fertility reduction has not been
consistently demonstrated, but is a potential risk for the already
borderline fertile male with low sperm count.
