STANFORD — Does smoking weed make you frisky?
A major new Stanford University study shows a link between marijuana use and sexual desire, suggesting that there may be science behind the age-old practice of using the drug as an aphrodisiac.
“It’s too early to recommend it as treatment,” said the study’s senior author, Dr. Michael Eisenberg, assistant professor of urology at Stanford University School of Medicine.
However, the data does suggest a relationship between weed and sex. Women who were daily pot users had sex on average 7.1 times a month, compared with six times for nonusers. Among men, marijuana users had sex 6.9 times a month, compared with 5.6 times for nonusers.
In addition, sex rose steadily with increasing marijuana use. More frequent users — those who smoke weekly or daily — reported more sex than less frequent users, it found.
While the study focused on a specific age group — men and women between the ages of 25 and 45 — the findings held for all people of all races, educational levels, income groups and religions, every health status, marital status and whether they had children.

You don’t say............................
I heard the opposite.
How was this study funded?
<< Stanford University study >>
No shortage of student volunteers for this study, I reckon.
Sure hope not...
Next study: What is the relationship between the sun and periods of light and darkness? Price tag $1,000,000.
I’m shocked, I tell you shocked!
Combine it with Cialis or Viagra for both partners for a better pharmaceutical outcome.
Those studied got free pot?
Dave’s not here.
Like WOW man!
I’d say the cause is more likely who you hang with...people that are a little looser.
Not if you count masturbation.
As I live ‘n’ breathe ain’t it a wonderment how these here kollege kids come up with all this here knowledge ‘n’ smart stuff from all that readin’ ‘n’ writtin’ and fancy book learnin’. So smoking the old whacky weed makes ya hornier then a three balled cat, huh? I’d a never guessed it....
Are you shocked? I’m shocked. This is the most shocking thing that has ever shocked me.
Derp.
This is not to say that marijuana doesn't enhance the sexual experience. I can testify to that. It does not increase desire, however.
Robin Williams, comedian on “Weed”:
“These drugs have side effects that go on for seven days, like [the] tendency to grow another head. When we were growing up, we knew the side effects of the drugs we were taking. Cocaine, side effects were paranoia and ninjas on the lawn. I remember that. Quaaludes, side effects were talking in tongues, English as a second language. I remember that. Marijuana, side effects were laughter, Frosted Flakes. That’s all I remember.”
And this: “They said that marijuana was a ‘performance-enhancing drug.’ Marijuana enhances many things — colors, tastes, sensations, but you are certainly not (f’ing) empowered. When you’re stoned, you’re lucky if you can find your own g-d’d feet. The only way it’s a performance-enhancing drug is if there’s a big (f’ing) Hershey bar at the end of the run.”
Performance wise— difficult for a “study” to assess since users vs. placebo group would notably be uh, forgetful. Best for both parties to “toke up” so both can forget later. Like “Sunday Morning Coming Down”. Cocaine —Williams called Peruvian marching powder.
Brilliant! You’ve got to get up pretty early in the morning to beat these Stanford Researchers.
There appears to be no limits to what the Stanford can discover!
I’ll just bet this research was taxpayer funded.
Bet the STD rate was up in this group.
