Besides, some recent scientific developments highlight that the use of cannabis sativa presents some severe impacts on both the men and women’s fertility, which significantly affects procreation. In 2013, a group of WHO (World Health Organization) researchers estimated that over 180 million individuals aged 60 years and below are involved in nonmedical consumption of the drug (Hsiao & Clavijo., 2018). Hypothetical analyses depict the use of cannabis has continued to heighten globally due to the claims that the drug causes calming and relaxation effects.
Furthermore, some states, including various U.S. states, recommend the use of cannabis. Their recommendation is based on various scientific studies on the substance showing that the drug is useful in correcting diverse medical conditions, which might include but not limited to poor appetite, glaucoma, and chronic pain.

However, the adverse health effects on users have not only raised major debates but have also inspired contemporary scientists to investigate life-threatening effects linked with the consumption of the substance in middle and high-income economies. As such, the study intends to examine if and how the usage of cannabis the female and male’s ability to procreate.
