It may very well be a combination of things that causes this.
Every body is also different. Every person's body goes through different reactions on drugs, and food.
"Still, the results are considered preliminary and need to be confirmed with more research. 'There have been studies done on testicular cancer, but ours is the first to look at marijuana,' said Daling." -CNN

I dont know what to think about it. THC is acclaimed as an anti cancerous agent and is known to kill unhealthy cells and promote the growth of new healthy cell, but it is also known to reduce sperm count. I know soem ppl that failed for sperm donation at a research center because their sperm count wasn't high enough lol.
You can't say thats because of marijuana. Sure they may smoke but you can't just go say something ignorant like "it's the marijauna" because it can be something genetically as to why their sperm count is low.
My post earlier was in general, not anyone in specific. The government has never really been able to link marijuana to a major negative affect. If they can link it in ANY way, it always has the words like "may" in front of what they are trying to say to scare society.
