So does this mean, for smokers of weed, quitting might actually bring on a cancer that would've lain dormant for years, perhaps forever?

No need for anymore excuses... This one hits the spot...

Another annoying article covering our needed marijuana studies. At the end it actually links to another article that says marijuana is more harmful than tobacco. OK, let me get this straight. Marijuana, which causes no deaths, is more harmful than tobacco, which causes around 435,000 deaths per year in the USA. There are no credible reports of death induced by marijuana - fact.

A 1997 study looked at over 65,000 men and women and found no association between marijuana and death. If marijuana was causing all kinds of cancer and tumors, it would've showed up there. If marijuana caused breast cancer, as another link at the end of the article suggests, it would've showed up there. We don't need to do studies on mice to find out if marijuana causes breast cancer in humans. We already know there are millions of women who smoke marijuana and they aren't dying from breast cancer at an increased rate.

In light of all the good news about cannabis, let's consider a candidate who has the courage to end the Drug War: Ron Paul.

Awesome news for all cannabis loving mice around here!

I don't smoke MJ, but I find it hard to believe that it's more deadly than tobacco or alcohol.

I've never seen anyone smoke marijuana and then decide to violently fight everybody.

They should rename this website DRUGGS.

"Drugg this!"

Hey! Cannabis just 'Slows' down the growth. And how many mice' no one knows. So smokers, don't be so happy. Smoking was, is and will always be injurious to health.

ok... So let's fill normal ciggarets with cannabis!

I once heard that the reason tobacco causes lung cancer is not because we smoke it, but because it contains radioactive compounds. If this is true, then why does this research team suggest that smoking marijuana may cause lung cancer? Do they have any reasonable studies to back up their claim? Are they getting pressure from their superiors to down-play smoking, in an effort to try to sell their synthetic THC compound?

If marijuana does indeed shrink tumors or slow down cancer... what would we need the synthetic drugs for? There are plenty of ways to use marijuana, without smoking it.

This is the third study I've seen that has shown this. The first two reached that conclusion completely independently decades apart. The first one was "accidentaly" destroyed by the government, but news coverage of it's results still exist.

just back every cigarette you smoke with a joint

Alright, we pot smokers may have a weakened short-term memory, but who doesn't remember YESTERDAY's frontpage articles?!

I hope people realize that eating marijuana will also get THC into your system.

So before you use your honed Columbo skills on this story, chief, take into account that not everything has to be smoked.

Well, you don't have to smoke it, you can vaporize it or even cook with it. Slows down lung cancer without causing lung cancer ;)

Cannabis slows down everything in everyone!

@asdfasdf I agree with most of what you said, except for one thing - marijuana smoke contains MORE carcinogens than cigarette smoke. Don't refute me on this, I know my ***** - give it a google.


No it doesn't. And yes, I've scoured google, I've scoured books, I've scoured everything except lame biased government studies. These all state the obvious benefits of marijuana. Its harmless, doesn't give you lung cancer, is a very effective anti-nauseate, a painkiller about 10x as effective as morphine. And... unlike morphine and even caffeine... it IS NOT addictive.

Hahaha his name is Dr. Ganju

I'm pretty sure cannabis slows EVERYTHING.

I think the most important statement in this article is:
He adds that that "a lot of work needs to be done" before scientists fully understand how THC affects tumours.

ISNT IT IRONIC THAT ONE OF THE SCIENCE GUYS NAME IN THIS STUDY IS RAMESH GANJU?!?!?!?!?!
kinda like ganja...!


makes u think..

If it slows down cancer, guess what else it probably slows down. Yeah...

I hope none of you also roll your joints with tobacco in them. oh wait.

This goes to show that even cancer is lazy when on pot. I didnt need a study to tell me this.

yep, pot either cures / prevents cancer, or slows the hell out of it. but remember, the gov says weed has absolutely 0 medical value, so we can't study it in america
