Excessive alcohol or marijuana use or the use of anabolic steroids (commonly used by bodybuilders and other elite athletes to build muscle bulk) can impair sperm production. Remedy: Avoid these substances.

The Institute of Medicine Report on Nutrition During Pregnancy notes that animal experiments indicate that marijuana may have a harmful effect on the fetus. Reports on the human fetus are inconsistent. There is, however, suggestive evidence that marijuana use during pregnancy may impair fetal growth.
Too many "mays" for me....Show me something I can sink my teeth into.
What the hell is this? Just because some wacko Congressman in 1937 said ridiculous things about marijuana, that's supposed to be the root of all the obviously "false" ideas about the drug? Re-read the original post befor you throw your voice around. I merely eluded to the fact that the drug war has been nothing but lies from those we are taught to respect at an early age. A quote, if you will, to shed light on a valid point. I don't understand where people get off on this idea that marijuana is harmless. The same people who have say that 80% percent of us have tried it, and 50% are still smoking regularly. What kind of numbers are these? Dude, you just have to justify it to yourself and everybody else. Those numbers are plain wrong. Check your facts in those stat books you cited for your stats. It is a common understanding that most of those numbers are nothing more than tools for the Drug Czar. So he can continue to gain money for his Freedom Destuction Machine. Depending on who's stats you use, you can get those mubers to say whatever you want. Think about it, if the nubers reported by the Drug Czar were any higher than they are today, his job would be in serious jepordy. Marijuana use is, by Barry McCaffrey's own words, at an all time high. As far as causing cancer, your right it is not proven. Mute Point. But regardless, What doesn't cause cancer? Marijuana users are far more prone to chest infections, such as pneumonia. Hey, what did Sagan die of? 2+2 = 5, right? What? You been listening to the propoganda and it apparently has distorted your perception of the real word. For your information, a week immune system is the primary cause of any infection. 5) Studies among teenagers have shown that those who smoke marijuana are up to 104 times more likely to try and become addicted to other, more dangerous drugs, than those who have not tried. Have you seen or read the Institute of Medicine's report that was released a few months ago? Well, I will give you the link so we may argue intelligently. http://www.marijuana.com/pdf/iom.pdf This is the original report issued by the White House. It clearly states that there is NO PROOF of Marijuana being a "Gateway Drug", or leading to harder drug use. Again, A missinformed person is a dangerous person...you should read this before you hurt someone. If you really believe that only 1 in 4 have tried marijuana...your wrong. The number is significantly higher...simply ask ANY high school student. I remember filling out that survey myself...No way my folks were gonna find out, so I lied. Marijuana has NO addictive substances contained in it's physiology. Again, read the IOM Report above...What you are saying is simply not true, and I will not allow you reguritate the crap I have listened to my entire life. It pisses me off to see posts like this. People who are likely to encourage kids and others to view marijuana and other drugs (tobacco and alcohol included) as a harmless thing. Then get all righteous, spurting BS about "freedom" and "lies." Yeah, everything you read on the 'net is true.Isn't it wonderful what you learn? 1. Kiss my ass. I run a top notch site. 2. You would be one to want to control speech on the internet. 3. Not harmless...just something to be correctly informed on...Check the site. 4. Glad to see you have a reference library, perhaps you should use it.
Lies only manifest more lies...It is silly to even argue with someone who says they no someone who died from Marijuana.

No matter who you are, this is a slap in your face. But, not for the obvious reasons... In 1937 a missguided man made the following statement...
"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others." Harry Anslinger, U.S. Commissioner of Narcotics, testifying to Congress on why marijuana should be made illegal, 1937. (Marijuana Tax Act, signed Aug. 2, 1937; effective Oct. 1, 1937.)
It is this exact mentality that is responsible for the negativity surrounding Marijuana. We have all been told for as long as we will remember that Marijuana is EVIL, it will "melt your brain", it will cause you to have sex with "undesireables". As we sit here as mature adults who are all mostly intelligent and working in a high tech field, I would venture to guess that some 80% of you have smoked Marijuana. I'd also guess 50% of you smoke Marijuana on a "regular" basis. But yet, Your brains have not melted, you have a good job, and you don't sleep around. So as deductive thinking individuals we are left with the conclusion that our Government has lied to us about a potentially benefical natural substance for the past 60 some odd years. How's that make you feel? We elect these officials, it is our responsibility to announce that we will not accept their lies any longer. We are now capable of learning from a new medium, called the internet. It provides us with the information that we previously could not obtain. In it's purist form it has givin new meaning to the word freedom. No longer do we have to listen to their politically motivated mumbo jumbo. Let this article be a lesson to us all. Good people get high. That is a fact. Do these people belong in jail? Sativa Primera WebMaster Marijuana.Com
