Ahh weed…the forbidden fruit. Or as it is infamously known in our society as bhangi.
For many years, baby boomers in Kenya have associated weed with all matters evil.
Indeed, our parents believe that weed is the drug that stimulates the subconscious mind to partake in all sorts of explicit s8xual behavior, buffoonery, and downright thuggery.
However, in the Western world, there seems to be a much greater tolerance and acceptance of weed. In fact, it is highly relied upon to alleviate extreme pain during sessions of chemotherapy and chronic illness treatment.
If you’re a Ras, saka visa bro!
It is even legal in some countries such as the Netherlands, and just recently, Canada.
For example, you could saunter into just about any coffee shop in Amsterdam and casually purchase yourself a weed cake.
Let’s face it, there are scientifically proven benefits of smoking weed.
Greater Sperm Count
In fact, a recently published sudy by the journal of Human Reproduction made a comparison between weed and non-weed smokers, and discovered that weed smokers have a higher sperm concentration as compared to non-weed smokers!
The study dispells the long-withheld myth that smoking weed drastically reduces one’ sperm count.
According to Dr Jorge Chavarro of Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in the department of epidemiology and nutrition, the scientists spent over 2 months analyzing results from the participants.
Shocking Surprise
The researchers expected that the inividuals partaking in cannabis would exhibit lesser sperm counts compared to their counterparts, only to be shocked that it was in fact, the exact opposite!
The exercise was carried out between the year 2000 and 2017, and in that period of time, collected 1,143 samples of semen from 662 participants.
That being said, the new results do not mean that avid cannabis smokers automatically increase their chances of fatherhood. Rather, it is their sperm count that increases.
