How does cannabis affect egg quality?

Cannabis use is likely detrimental to egg quality. According to Andrew Huberman and Dr. Natalie Crawford, smoking or vaping cannabis is very likely to be harmful to both egg and sperm quality. It does not directly prevent conception but can lower the quality of the reproductive cells, which might affect the health of the baby if conception occurs 1.

Andrew Huberman emphasizes that the use of cannabis during pregnancy is particularly concerning due to its detrimental effects on fetal brain development, which further supports the idea that cannabis could impair reproductive health even at the conception stage 2.

Therefore, the use of cannabis is not recommended for individuals who are planning to conceive, due to its negative impacts on reproductive health and the potential risks to the fetus.
