Pot Use May Mellow Out Men's Sexual Function
by Stephanie Pappas, LiveScience Senior WriterDate: 11 February 2011 Time: 11:35 AM ET

Marijuana users sometimes report that pot enhances their desire for sex. But a new review of research on marijuana and sexual health suggests that male smokers could be courting sexual dysfunction.

Research on the topic is contradictory and few studies are high-quality, said study researcher Rany Shamloul, a physician with appointments at the University of Ottawa and Queen's University in Canada as well as the University of Cairo. But recent research – including the finding that the penis contains receptors for marijuana's active ingredient – suggests that young men may want to think about long-term effects before rolling a joint, Shamloul told LiveScience.

"It's a strong message to our younger generations and younger men," Shamloul said.

Shamloul reported his findings online Jan. 26 in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

3. Guess that's one way to keep us Libruls from breeding.
Think about it (R)s - in two decades you could control the world, just by legalizing pot.
