Post Marijuana

My boyfriend smokes marijuana every day. Which I've heard lowers your sperm count. I was wondering if he didn't smoke it for a whole day, would he produce healthy enough sperm to get me pregnant?

Just curious and not to sound like a prude or anything (I had my day of tok'n up in HS) but why in the he** would you want to have a child with a pothead? Been there, done that and now I am seriously paying for it. DD's dad hasn't worked since Oct. 2002 and in the 4 years since I left him he has had about 15 diff jobs.

Please reconsider,

TAZ

smoking that will potentially harm your boyfriend's sperm permanently. it takes 3 months for sperm to "mature" not one day. if you are serious about getting pregnant, I would urge him to stop completely forever!!! if you do end up pregnant, your baby could suffer the consequences from it!

I was just wondering the chance of it happening. We're young and not quite ready for children yet.

you should also know that just yesterday I saw interesting things concerning smoking grass: he will be at 20% more of a risk of developing cancer of the lungs/bronchioles/throat than a regular smoker.

That is a huge %! The reason why, is that the paper used to roll the joint is very high in noxious substances. The smoker also holds the smoke in for a long while...that creates a lot of damage, so I would urge him to stop for general health reasons.

There are also studies on the stupefying effect on regular grass smokers...it can kill off brain cells. If you are thinking of having a child with him in the future, then you want him to be around to help you bring it up, right? Good luck!
