An article published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health earlier this year found that claims about cannabis use decreasing fertility were not true.

More than 4,000 women and 1,000 men were enrolled in the study to determine the effects of the drug on fertility. 12 percent of the women in the study and 14 percent of the men were marijuana users.

The researchers found that marijuana users did not have a difference in fertility compared to non-users, implying that there’s no connection between the two.

Interestingly enough, men who consumed cannabis more than once a week were actually 24 percent more likely to conceive a child than those that did not.
