Science Took The Liberty Of Finding Out What Effect Weed Has On Your Jizz, And Get A Load Of This

If you like one or more of the following things, please continue reading: Weed, Jizz.

K, for those of you still remaining, we’re going to get science’s opinion on the effects marijuana has on your baby batter.

Now I know we’ve all heard our friends/smoking buddies spew out baseless claims that weed kills your sperm count and we sit there and nod because a.) we can’t prove him wrong and b.) the blunt is coming your way.

But science is here to briefly interrupt your burn cruise to confirm or deny this claim once and for all.

A new study done in Denmark’s  University of Copenhagen surveyed 1,215 Danish men ages 18 to 28 about their drug use over the past three months and asked to jizz in a cup. Well, I don’t know if they were instructed to ‘jizz in a cup,’ but they were required to give a semen sample. In a cup.

The finding were published in the American Journal of Epidemiology and are as follows:

The researchers found a correlation between men who smoked pot more than once weekly and “quite a lot” of a drop in sperm count: the count was an average 29% lower in these men than in those who reported lighter or no usage.

And if you’re one who dabbles in the harder shit like molly and cocaine, the survey revealed a more extreme reduction, with average sperm count down 55%.

These findings may or may not be good news to you depending on your stance on having babies, but at 28 and unfathomably irresponsible, I view it as another form of birth control. Chalk it up to reason 23,932 to smoke weed.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
