Study: Marijuana Linked to Men's Sex Health

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - Men who smoke pot regularly may want to put down the reefer. New research out of Australia shows a link between pot smoking and sexual health problems for men.

Professor Anthony Smith works at the Research Center at La Trobe University in Melbourne. According to his university study men who smoke pot daily are four times more likely to have trouble climaxing than men who aren't lighting up.

According to stuff.co.nz the study took in more than 8,600 people, aged 16 to 64, who were surveyed by telephone as part of the Australian Longitudinal Study of Health and Relationships.

Smith says the findings suggest these men don't see this as a sexual health problem though and they may even be using the cannabis to actually delay their orgasm. While many pot smoking men may be having sexual problems, the study also found they have more partners then non-pot smokers.

Monday in the U.S. the Justice Department told federal prosecutors that targeting people who use or provide medical marijuana in strict compliance with state laws was not a good use of their time, reported The Associated Press .

And in what may be the only only airport with a pot policy, medical marijuana patients boarding flights out of Oakland International Airport are allowed to take up to 8 ounces of pot onboard.
