Duncan, DrPH, FAAHB - 2006/05/28.   Opponents of the relegalization of marijuana frequently argue that marijuana smoke contains a number of carcinogenic chemicals and that therefore the prohibition of marijuana use must continue to protect the public from lung cancer. From the standpoint of an epidemiologist, these arguments have never been credible. Persuasive evidence that marijuana use causes cancer or contributes to any serious health problems simply does not exist. A presentation at the American Thoracic Society conference last week, reported that the largest study ever conducted to specifically test the hypothesis that marijuana use causes lung cancer has again found no support for this idea. The principal investigator of this new study was Dr. Donald Tashkin, of UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine, who has been conducting studies for three decades searching for respiratory damage due to marijuana use. In the past, his studies have been widely quoted by the federal government and other defenders of the war on drugs and have been harshly criticized by epidemiologists and statisticians. Dr. Tashkin acknowledges that the study's findings were contrary to his biases. "We hypothesized that there would be a positive association between marijuana use and lung cancer, and that the association would be more positive with heavier use," he said. "What we found instead was no association at all, and even a suggestion of some protective effect."   visit: http://www.naphp.org/index.php/fuseaction/magazine.article/articleid/42/ - Cancer & Cannabis - CANNABIS EASES CANCER SICKNESS, STUDY FINDS (article) “CANNABIS chemicals are better than conventional drugs at controlling sickness caused by cancer treatments, a study showed yesterday.” visit: http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v01.n1307.a07.html “Cannabis and Cancer: Arthur's Story” (book) find it at: visit: http://www.amazon.com CannabisMD Reports : Cannabis and Lung Cancer ”Cannabis and Lung Cancer”.
