NASHVILLE, Jan. 21 (UPI) — Human male fertility may be impacted by long-term exposure to marijuana, researchers in the United States and Japan suggest.
The researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville and colleagues said the findings show that genetic loss of fatty acid amide hydrolase — an enzyme — results in elevated levels of anandamide, an endocannabinoid, in the male reproductive system, leading to compromised fertilizing capacity of sperm. The endocannabinoid system refers to a group of lipids and their receptors that are involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood and memory.
Retention of fatty acid amide hydrolase on an egg provides evidence that the sperm’s capacity to penetrate is dampened by elevated anandamide levels.

That’s why Willie Nelson had seven kids.

This really is one of the funniest piles of crap I have ever seen. I remember when I was in HIGH school back in the 80′s, they was spreading this crap. Now, 20 years later, I was just blessed with a little baby girl.
All crap!!!!!!
I saw this on digg and was like it will be in the audio stash tomorrow. :P The article does not link to the original research. Both done in the US and Japan, two countries that want ganja illegal.
Yeah it’s totally scare mongering.
And even if it were true it’s only temporary until you take a break, then things return to normal.
..and anyway, it always sounded like a good thing to me; natural contraception. lol
This reefer madness crap pisses me off. When superstition passes as scientific analysis you get spun in to a dimension where cannabis can both increase teen pregnancy and increase infertility.
Every stoner I know has all the kids he or she wants right now. I don’t know a single stoner with fertility problems and I know plenty of of people with fertility problems.
Was this study even done on humans, or are we talking rats again?
So this is why I had only 8 kids…my grandmother had 14.
