i'm young enough where i guess this could happen, but i doubt it will. if i do get it i'll be pissed, but i'll take my chances for now

ya i agree the obama factor is the reason for this hype

This thread sucks now I'm all paranoid and shit. Damn buzz kill.

Cancer comes from everything these days. It's not going to change my life.

ravensun · 02-18-2009, 07:19 PM

first, this is an interview session, NOT a scientific study, so it is all 100% BS

second, ever heard of COINTELPRO?, no, they are still in business spreading lies

third, marijuana has NEVER been shown to have any ill side effects in any REAL scientific study, thats why all the studies by the US govt are permanently shelved

the way i see it, pot is an alkalizer which helps normalize the average persons overly acid system, if anything, it should help FIGHT cancer, and, the brain has receptors for the THC molecule, why?, nature doesnt give you cancer, our polluted environment does, i suggest doing a water analysis in that area...

as expected, a little research has led me to believe this is a smear campaign, probably funded by alchohol and tobacco interests...

But the prospect of a causal relationship between marijuana use and testicular cancer raised a lot of unanswered questions for Gary Schwartz, an associate professor in both the department of cancer biology and the department of epidemiology and prevention at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C.
"The consensus is that most testicular cancer is thought to originate with lesions in utero, and that the peak age for testicular cancer to actually occur begins, really, right after adolescence," he noted. "That's when hormones released during puberty appear to promote [full-blown] cancer by essentially throwing fuel on the lesion fire, following a relatively long latency. The point being that you don't suddenly wake up one morning with a tumor. So it's a little hard to understand how exposure to marijuana beginning at that point could somehow play an immediate causal role."

I have little respect for the medical community, medicine is not an exact science so who knows what pot smoke does?

Kaniption · 02-25-2009, 04:55 AM

If this shit leads to testicular cancer, then I say if I catch it then I have a PERFECT excuse to go out, get my medicinal license, and get the GOOD shit via the U.S. government. Plus, "researchers" say microwave ovens are hazardous to your eyesight if you look into where your fucking food is nuking for a minimal 20 seconds. Funny how the government says things. So I say fuck the worrying. It's like a rocking chair; it gives you something to do but doesn't get you anywhere.

Hi, I've been smoking pot for more than 45years and my boys are just fine. I guess Lance Armstrong must have smoked a lot though. betede
