Weed Lowers Your Sperm Count ???

Author Brian Ives // Managing Editor, Beasley Media

With weed recently becoming legal in Michigan; I know a lot of people were rejoicing, and celebrating! However if you’re a guy, you should know that smoking the devils lettuce lowers your sperm count. This is according to livescience.com …

“While the study was small — just 24 participants — researchers found, for the first time, that higher concentrations of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in urine corresponded to a lower sperm count. (THC is the compound in marijuana responsible for the drug’s high.) The study also found that pot smokers had changes in their sperm genetic profile that, in other studies, have been associated with abnormal growth and cancer.”

So just a heads up for the fellas out there watch out for how much weed you’re smoking! Maybe make like Stephen A Smith and “STAY OFF THE WEEEEEED”. Just for a while if you’re trying to get your girl pregnant!
