No doubt you already get it on that smoking weed makes you mellow . But did you do it that it can make your spermatozoan indolent too ? That ’s right , stoned spermatozoan is apparently a thing .
Not so long ago , researchcame out suggest that smoking pot can lower sperm numeration by almost a third – and all it hold is a twain of joints a week . It ’s not the only study to show that marijuana economic consumption can seriously affectmale natality .
But concord toVictor Chow , a clinical professor at the University of British Columbia , it ’s not just the numbers that switch . Marijuana also affects sperm mobility .
“ The weight of the grounds is that marijuana probably has a negatively charged impact not only for spermatozoan enumeration but for function , ” Chow , who works in the University ’s Department of Urological Sciences , told Canada’sNational Postlast week .
So if they ’re not doing what they ’re suppose to be doing ( i.e. fertilizing eggs ) , what ’s materialise ? plainly , the drug makes them"mellow"and make them to swim in Mexican valium .
The occasional joint is unlikely to do much hurt ( baccy white plague aside ) but , Chow warned , " it will definitely affect the quality of the sperm cell " in gruelling users .
The understanding it has such an immediate effect on manful fertility , Chow explained , is because " sperm cell is a very rapidly turning cell " . This fundamentally means that , whereas woman are born with all the eggs they ’re ever going to get , men make new spermatozoan all solar day , every mean solar day .
However , Dr Armand Zini , associate prof of urogenital medicine at McGill University and an expert in manful birth rate , admit in the same article that " The science is not very inviolable " . There have n’t been many studies , he said , and most of those that do exist look at the effect of cannabis on spermatozoan in animals .
But he does continue by enjoin , that “ Even though we may not have the strongest data on this , there ’s some evidence to support what I am allege . ”
So the ending seems to be that more research needs to be done . Having said that , if you are looking to believe , there ’s obviously no harm in cutting back ( or giving up wholly ) , at least for a while .
