Cannabis is a widely democratized drug, all over the world, to the point that some countries have chosen to decriminalize it. Nevertheless, the effects on sexual function are relatively obvious and increasingly tend to be rigorously proven. The question is to know what is the concrete nature of their impacts in this area according to different criteria, such as the dosage but also the regularity of the catches over time.
Cannabis and disinhibition
It's no secret that cannabis is disinhibiting. Constant of most drugs, whether mild or not. The relaxation, or form of relaxation, implied by its consumption can have positive repercussions, on the moment, as regards sexuality. The subject increases his ability to let go, forgets the notion of performance and above all leaves his complexes in the locker room. Tetrahydrocannabinol, or simply THC, is the most significant cannabinoid in the cannabis plant. In low doses, it can have an effect on the dilation of blood vessels and facilitate erection. What combat, to some extent, male impotence while having the power to awaken the libido. But beware, this aspect remains very marginal, if only in the ability to accurately identify the very low admissible doses, likely to be therapeutic.
What is male impotence?
Male impotence is characterized by the inability to maintain a sufficient erection during sexual intercourse. Its causes are either psychological or organic, or most often both simultaneously. In all cases, treatments exist, whether psychiatric, medicinal or alternative. Nevertheless, the common point of these solutions is that they all involve the intervention of specialists, meaning real professionals.
Does cannabis lead to male impotence?
This question raises a rather striking paradox in relation to what was said in the preamble. Yet it all seems to be a matter of quantity. A subject who smokes several joints a day is exposed to multiple disorders: apathy, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, hypertension, cardiovascular risks. But also erectile disorders that can lead to impotence. The number of spermatozoa decreases and the man is somehow affected in his virility. Heavy cannabis use also often leads to depression, which itself can lead to a significant drop in libido. The gear builds up little by little and inevitably ends up leading to erectile dysfunction. This example shows the indirect effect that the excessive consumption of cannabis can have.
Can the problem be reduced to a question of dosage?
This idea is often found in nutritional considerations. Without going into too much detail, a food can be as much a medicine as a poison, depending on its dosage. As we often say, you don't need too much, but you shouldn't delete any. Another example could be aspirins. These relieve headaches but can, in case of excessive consumption, end up creating migraines. Even if everything is not perfectly clear with cannabis, the latter, although considered a drug, can have therapeutic effects in certain cases. The right dosage seems to be one of the keys to the problem since we have shown that a one-off intake can sometimes have beneficial effects. It should nevertheless be remembered that French law prohibits the production, possession, sale, purchase and use of narcotics, including cannabis. The acts of consumption, even the simplest, can lead to criminal proceedings. The same is true for production for personal use.
