Pot's ill effects on fertility and disease immunity
A Columbia University study released at the International Pharmacology Conference finds marijuana smoking lowers fertility and weakens disease resistance. Five men, average age 21, smoked heavily for 29 days with sperm counts dropping 75 percent at the peak. Counts recovered after abstinence, though Nahas calls for more research.
