So for some various biological reasons that we don't have a biomarker for, there may be some men that use cannabis and it has a profound effect on their sperm quality, their sperm capacitance, their ability to maintain fertility. And for the bulk majority of men, I'd say that's probably not the case.

But again, if you're someone who is struggling and you use cannabis, male or female, I would say cut that out and see if that has an effect for you.

Yeah, it's very, I mean, I've heard higher numbers than that. In the research literature. No, I've heard higher numbers than that as well. Okay, so I'm on the low end of this. Well, I mean, so I've heard as low as two and I've heard as high as 20.

So first thing, going back to the levels, that's challenging because again, this depends on, are you talking about self-report or are you talking about verified blood levels? Because those have varied. So some of the higher numbers actually come from blood levels where they've taken blood samples and found THC, but the women have reported not using cannabis.

And so the idea that it's like the self-report numbers tend to come in around two or three My guess is the real number is probably somewhere around 10%, but that also is gonna vary depending on what you're talking about because there are a proportion of people who are using cannabis and become pregnant and are unaware they're pregnant and are still using cannabis and that would still qualify

under the way that it's defined, that someone used cannabis while pregnant. So the majority, I would say the overwhelming majority of people, once they learn they're pregnant, now that can be all the way up to almost the end of the first trimester, typically stop using cannabis. That seems to be The norm, I would say. Important point there. Yeah.

And I think also the number that carry on through the entire gestational period is going to be a lot less, I would guess. Now, the motivations for this quite often are more in the capacity of the kind of anti-nauseant qualities that cannabis can have for some people and for women struggling with morning sickness.
