Cannabinoids, the main active components of marijuana, have been shown to exert different adverse effects on male reproduction both in vertebrates and invertebrates. In vivo, cannabinoids exert negative effects on hypothalamic-hypophyseal reproductive hormone secretion and testicular endocrine and exocrine functions. Furthermore, a large amount of experimental data obtained in vitro have clearly shown that cannabinoids negatively influence important sperm functions, including motility and acrosome reaction, two fundamental processes necessary for oocyte fertilisation. These inhibitory effects are mediated by the direct action of cannabinoids on sperm through the activation of the cannabinoid receptor subtype CNR1 that has been shown to be expressed in mature sperm. In the present paper, we briefly review the effects of cannabinoids and endocannabinoids, a particular group of endogenously produced cannabinoids, on male reproductive function.
