When you get high on marijuana, your sperm gets high too—pot has been linked to lower sperm counts and concentrations.

But a new study, published Tuesday in the journal Human Reproduction, found that isn’t true with both current and former marijuana smokers, who had higher levels of sperm concentration than men who had never tried marijuana.

"The most important message of this study is highlighting how little we know about how marijuana use impacts the health in general."

Chavarro and his team invited 662 men seeking treatment at the Massachusetts General Hospital Fertility Center to be part of the research project between 2000 and 2017. Altogether, they provided 1,143 semen samples and answered a survey about their use of drugs, including marijuana.
