InterestModerate interest
Participants show moderate curiosity, referencing the study and related effects on hormones and fertility, with some highlighting the relevance to health discussions.
EngagementModerate engagement
Many discussions cite specific hormonal effects like lowered estradiol and increased prolactin, engaging deeply with scientific implications and debates about causation.
ImpactModerate impact
The discussions suggest awareness of potential health impacts, especially concerning fertility and hormonal health, implying moderate recognition of real-world significance.
Abstract in brief
This study examined how marijuana use and other habits like a sedentary lifestyle, alcohol, and tobacco use affect male fertility, finding that marijuana particularly impacts hormonal balance by lowering estradiol and affecting other hormone levels.
While semen quality, sperm function, and testis size were not significantly affected, marijuana was linked to hormonal changes such as reduced estradiol, increased prolactin, and altered SHBG and testosterone-estradiol ratio.
Overall, marijuana appears to cause hormonal imbalances in infertile men, which might contribute to fertility issues, even if it doesn't directly impact semen parameters.
@TheFoodGator @BowTiedOx Some studies suggest that it is the smoking of them that causes estrogen dominance/decrease in testosterone.
But most show that THC/cannaboids themselves whether smoked or not cause hormone dysfunction/gynecomastia.

@CountingDown01 @alabamainusa @RippleyRippley @hopes_revenge The layman may be convinced by this, but anybody with a science background knows better than to conflate correlation with causation - especially with a study from 50 years ago. The clinical literature is absolutely not at consensus on the topic.
