Eating vs smoking marijuana's effect on fertility?

[DMACM]

I was hanging out with this kid today and he said that eating marijuana will cause infertility whereas smoking it will not. In a google search I found studies showing that THC -marijuana's active ingredient- does effect fertility but no studies that drew a distinction between eating and smoking the drug. Has anyone ever heard of this difference? Im inquiring purely out of curiousity as I would never do either, of course.
