There are no studies or research thus far regarding marijuana use and erectile dysfunction. However, as men look for causes and solutions, the subject is greatly mentioned and discussed on the internet.
Marijuana does not contain nicotine, so it should not reduce blood flow in the same way as cigarette use. However, given the politics of marijuana use, there is a lot of conjecture and speculation on this subject, as in all other areas of marijuana use. Effects of marijuana depend partially on the expectations of the user. If it creates anxiety, then erectile dysfunction is a possible result.
The level of intoxication can influence the effects of marijuana. Lower levels of intoxication can allow greater communication and greater sensitivity, increased stamina and skill. As with other drugs, such as liquor, higher levels of intoxication can make the user withdrawn and can overwhelm the user, reducing sexual desire. See second answer below for an example.
Yes it does!!!! I am a lady, 42 yrs old that has beenin relationships with two regular marijuana users and the problem was a lack of interest in having sex, an inability to maintain an erection the few times we did attempt it (mostly unsuccessfully) and difficulty reaching orgasm! That was him. Even taking Viagra didn't help much.
I know it affects people differently but in my experience regular dopers are lousy lovers! Ladies, save yourselves a lot of frustration and dissappointment - MOVE ON!!
There are plenty of great, sexually interested and able men out there who are willing and able to offer up the sexual relationship you desire. GET OUT!

So good question. A lot of the drugs on the market have nasty side effects, especially after long term use, and can get quite expensive too!
There are a variety of natural treatments, including herbal supplements and acupuncture. The best way to treat though is to find the root cause of it. As men hit thirty, their testosterone levels gradually decrease. For most men a herbal remedy that boosts testosterone proves highly effective. A great product you could try is called Herbal Ignite, it's been around for over a decade, and made in clean green New Zealand, so you can be assured of the quality and efficacy of its ingredients. You can get more info from their website, but basically as I understand it works by using the herb Tribulus Terrestris stimulating the body to produce more testosterone, like it did when you were in your twenties.
Smoking Marijauana can cause erectile dysfunction; so quiting may resolve that issue; but ED may have other causes and contributing factors as well.
