Marijuana Uncorrelated to Lung Cancer

Donald Tashkin of UCLA announced today the findings of a study that evaluated the link between lung cancer and marijuana smoking. The study compared groups of 611 lung cancer patients, 601 patients with neck/head cancers, and 1,040 cancer-free individuals in a similar demographic. The findings showed that there was no correlation between even the heaviest marijuana use and cancers.
