I suggest the author update this to include a recent study demonstrating the opposite articulated in this piece.
A recent study showed that: Men who had ever smoked marijuana (N = 365) had significantly higher sperm concentration (62.7 (95% confidence interval: 56.0, 70.3) million/mL) than men who had never smoked marijuana (N = 297) (45.4 (38.6, 53.3) million/mL) after adjusting for potential confounders (P = 0.0003). There were no significant differences in sperm concentration between current (N = 74) (59.5 (47.3, 74.8) million/mL) and past marijuana smokers (N = 291) (63.5 (56.1, 72.0) million/mL; P = 0.60). A similar pattern was observed for total sperm count.

I would however, agree we need more research and higher quality studies but I do think that at this point we cannot draw any conclusions that cannabis hinders or enhances fertility.
