Dear John:
I hope you're not going to experiment with marijuana.... because you're in
for some bad news (considering that you're a male). A study conducted by
Lani Burkman and Alex Makriyannis at the University at Buffalo showed that
one's sperm count can be adversely affected by marijuana smoking due to an
excessive influx of cannabinoids (hormones found in cannibis... i.e.
marijuana) overloading the body's system. More information can be found at
the following pages:

The homepage of the researcher who carried out the project can be found here.
Hope this helps, and don't fool about with drugs! Keep up that curiousity
of yours!
