Men who regularly smoke cannabis have 70% increased risk of testicular cancer

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Researchers in the US have found that men who regularly smoke cannabis have a 70 per cent increased risk of testicular cancer. The risk was highest – twice that of those who never used the drug – in those who smoked it at least once a week or had a long history of use, beginning in adolescence.

...

Cannabis was linked with testicular cancer independently of smoking, drinking and family history.

...

The results, published today in the journal Cancer, showed a link between cannabis use and one type of testicular cancer, called nonseminoma, which is aggressive, tends to strike younger men and accounts for 40 per cent of testicular cancer.

Good. That means all these know-it-all hippies won't be able to breed when their nuts fall off. I hear it also radically lowers your sperm viability.

Right, that's the answer to global warming, oil shortages and crop yield. All men must smoke weed. Sorted. Next problem?

I don't need drugs to twist my brain and especially to lay out good hard earned cash for it. Can get my brain twisted for free from the USCIS, IRS, FAA, FCC, EPA, etc., and our local law enforcement. Well, not exactly for free, just the brain twisting part is free.

Is pot worth your balls?

Is pot worth your job? I've seen plenty of people lose their jobs or fail to get a job because they couldn't pass a urine test for drugs required for the job. It never ceases to amaze me of people's priorities.

on the bright side, if it's legalized, the pot smokers won't breed....darwin does work.

Ergo women will be extinct too. You may not like men (homosexuality?) but women can't survive without us.
