They said marijuana causes cancer, but now weâve learned that THC may prevent it.
They said marijuana makes you forgetful, but it turns out that it might prevent Alzheimerâs too.
They said marijuana makes you sterile, but today I learned that it can increase fertility.
From Medical News Today:
This study involved eight volunteers - they were all heavy [tobacco] smokers. Four of them had normal sperm function, while the other four had reduced sperm function. Some of their sperm was washed in a regular medium and some was washed in a low-concentration cannabinoid solution.
They found that the sperm of the smokers who had reduced sperm function improved significantly after being washed in the low-concentration cannabinoid solution, while the sperm of the smokers with normal function did not.
Every time they study it, marijuana accomplishes something new and amazing. Thatâs probably where they got the idea to wash sperm with it. Right now I bet scientists are putting cannabinoid solution on all sorts of things to see what happens.
But the question remains: if you wash your sperm in cannabinoids will your baby be born a hippy?
