Decrease Testosteron: Many you are having heftier erections because you are less anxious. I don't know. THC reduces testosterone levels.

Stoner: MJ is a psychoactive drug that messes with your brain. Despite the short term effect of better erection, it will damage your brain, testes among other harms.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.

Pot & testosterone: Dr. Fowler is correct, marijuana decreases testosterone. There is currently more denial re: adverse effects of pot than there is about alcohol, because of legal status in many places. Also disrupts sleep cycle, possible worse lung damage than tobacco, decreased memory, mental acuity & concentration, suppresses immune system, increased baseline anxiety, many other problems.
