well i guess drs. have completely different opinions on this it looks like. a few  doctor's said it's not possible to affect the sperm at all. regardless, no child should come into this world with a parent abusing drugs. either way they will be affected by it at somepoint. the one i read said it's not possible to affect the sperm, but im only going by google and the answers i saw. best of luck

yes opiates can. that was not the question, the question was for crack and crack does not affect sperm.

This is what I found ........... in males, the cocaine in crack may attach to the sperm causing damage to the cells of the fetus

per netwellnessdotcom

Certain drugs like the opiates (heroin, Vicodin, codeine, Tylenol #3 etc,) can have an effect on sperm morphology
