Smoking marijuana...makes men’s sperm ‘lazily swim in circles’ say experts

Men who smoke too much marijuana could face fertility problems because the drug makes sperm 'mellow' causing it to 'swim in circles'.

Cannabis - which is the most widely-used illegal drug in Britain - tends to leave users feeling chilled out and relaxed.

But now researchers have revealed that it has the same effect on sperm and regular weed smoking can cut counts of the cells by as much as a third.

I can hear the pro-drug crowd now... Making this into a virtue.

[DIRTYSECRET]

I prefer beer. It’s cheaper.

[Sacajaweau]

Do they swim clockwise or counter clockwise?

[Pearls Before Swine]

It is hard to believe that this is the first time this has been looked at.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I have to ask, and others may wonder too — does marijuana inhibit the delivery of sperm as well????

[jonno]

Sounds like birth-control for stoners (and who really wants them to reproduce?).

[bankwalker]

Do they swim clockwise or counter clockwise?

That depends on your current viewing position.

[Drew68]

Fake news.

Anecdotal observations lead me to believe that drug users can reproduce just fine.

[reg45]

Northern Hemisphere or Southern Hemisphere?

[Sacajaweau]

Good point....Perhaps they crash land and you're pregnant instantly...

or maybe just a soft knock and you're going to get no where.

[right way right]

Smoke pot and drink beer and yer little fellas will swim in circles weaving back and forth.

[Boomer]

The jokes almost write themselves on this one. :D

Let’s send some marijuana to China!

Honestly, if you wanted to destroy a country that you compete with, just have their citizens smoke pot.

[gaijin]

I wonder if the Corialis Effect would apply here..?

Crossing the equator would your sperm.....

Meh, dunno.

[sparklite2]

Beer may be cheaper, but weed has no hangover.

[Tucker39]

Well, it looks like a plus to me. We don’t want these junkies siring children, only to abort them, with us paying the bill; or using the extra children to qualify for bigger welfare checks, meanwhile, keeping the children in squalor and rearing them to be the next generation of welfare bums, regardless their skin color.

[CGASMIA68]

depends on which side of the equator they are on

[Springman]

Bump for later; this should be a good one!!

[Psalm 144]

Sounds about right. You get one life. WHY do people want to spend it in the slow and stupid lane?

[kaehurowing]

Smoke dope, become Pajama Boy.
