Marijuana Interferes with Fertility Treatments

A study of 221 couples who underwent in vitro fertilization found that marijuana smoked by either the man or the woman adversely affected the likelihood of success. For men or women that had smoked, there was an average of one less embryo that could be transferred, as well as less eggs retrievable. The study also showed a correlation between smoking and lower birth weights, whether the man or the woman smoked.
