Amen, Doctor!
Here are a few excerpts from
THIS article talking about the cancer risk.
Quote:
According to the study, the more times per day a person smokes marijuana, the greater the risk of head and neck cancers. People who use marijuana habitually for many years increase their risk of head and neck cancers substantially. "If you smoke a little, your risk increases a little," Dr. Zhang said. "If you smoke a lot, your risk increases a lot." The average user in this study had two to three times the risk of non-users.
The results of the study are particularly important now, as people who became habitual marijuana smokers in the 1960s are reaching older ages. "Because head and neck cancers – cancers of the mouth, tongue, larynx, and pharynx – take many years to develop, people who smoked large amounts of marijuana in the 1960s may just now be developing head and neck cancers," Dr. Zhang said.
