just wondering

four years ago i smoked pot for the first time, and after a very stressfull point in my life, i've been smoking multiple times every day for three years. if this continues, i was just wondering what effects this can have on my sperm production in the future.

thanks.

there is no clinical proof that marijuana permanently damages the testes or the production of sperm...however it may temporarily(up to 60 days) bring your sperm cell count low enough to be considered(imPOTent) however there has been proof that marijuana can cause cell differentiations in sperm...but this is no big deal...there is very few cases of pot ruining your reproductive organs...and dont use stress as an excuse to smoke...use another one...like my back hurts or something...go get a script so its legal...getting busted is the worst part of it...best of luck with your gonads!

If you keep smoking it, it can severely damage your chances of having kids in later life. Meaning if you quit now you'll still have a chance of having healthy sperm!
