Smoking marijuana causes fertility problems because it 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. {Don't forget the MUNCHIES!}
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.
Dr Victor Chow, of the University of British Columbia in Canada, said: "The weight of the Âevidence is that marijuana Âprobably has a negative impact not only for sperm counts but sperm function."
Previous studies have shown that marijuana can affect fertility by cutting sperm count and suppressing ovulation in women.
The exact way in which that happens has not yet been made clear but the new research appears to shed more light.
But fertility problems are not the only danger of smoking marijuana.
The drug can increase the heart rate and affect blood pressure - while increasing the risk of a pregnant woman's baby being born smaller than expected.
It was also recently revealed that pot can affect the way a smoker's knees, elbows and shoulders move when they are walking. ...
So, what you're sayin' is that pot decreases the chances of people in the shallow end of the gene pool from procreating? Well ... at least there is one good thing you can say about marijuana, then, eh?
