Study Finds No Cancer-Marijuana Connection

The largest study of its kind has unexpectedly concluded that smoking marijuana, even regularly and heavily, does not lead to lung cancer.
The new findings "were against our expectations," said Donald Tashkin of the University of California at Los Angeles, a pulmonologist who has studied marijuana for 30 years.
"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."
Federal health and drug enforcement officials have widely used Tashkin''s previous work on marijuana to make the case that the drug is dangerous. Tashkin said that while he still believes marijuana is potentially harmful, its cancer-causing effects appear to be of less concern than previously thought.
Earlier work established that marijuana does contain cancer-causing chemicals as potentially harmful as those in tobacco, he said. However, marijuana also contains the chemical THC, which he said may kill aging cells and keep them from becoming cancerous.

- She''ll never get the truth from the Pentagon! These are people who kill people for a living and lure others to do the same! What kind of honesty or honor could they have?
Starting back in the 1800''s has the military ever honored even one contract with native American tribes? The rest follows. - Reply to this comment
- The truth about the murder of Randy Tillman will be what it was previously--He was going to come out against the war and he was gunned down so that the Regime would have a dead hero rather than a live liability.
Congress-- vile, contemptible, degenerate, mealy-mouthed, worm tongued scoundrels that compose it-- has yet to bring the Regime to account for lying the United States into the Stupid Peoples'' War....Do you think they are going to vigorously pursue anything that might interfer with THEIR war for Oil, Israel, and Opium? - Reply to this comment
- Does everyone know that a government official even said to Mrs. Tillman that she should not be sad over her son''s death because he was not a christian? Just part of this outrageous story of lies and deceit hat epitomizes the Bush Crime Family and their unjust war. It will be years before we know the full scope of the high crimes and misdemeanors of Bush/Cheney & Co...

- Tillman was used as a recruitment ploy in an effort to sell this war. When he was shipped out, his "cash value" ended. His life or death are no more important to this government than any of the other 4,000 killed or 36,000 wounded.

-Pat Tillman was kind of a bully who didn''''t have a knack for the gentler side-he got bossy at the wrong time and he got fragged.

Yet we hear so little of the PNAC members, the same people who needed a new Pearl Harbor to initiate their plans. - Reply to this comment
- Tillman is another in a long, long list of soldiers killed by "friendly" fire. Our government wants to cover this up too, because they have no right answer. Our officials are as corrupt and dark as they come, all the while pretending to be representitives of a free and democratic government. How can we allow these acts to continue, without speaking out against them?
