SMOKING MARIJUANA DOES NOT LEAD TO LUNG CANCER

The article "Forget facts, common sense or decency," Nov. 18, states
"...marijuana is exceedingly bad for your lungs." The fact is studies
done by UCLA, Harvard and Johns Hopkins have unexpectedly concluded
that smoking marijuana, even regularly and heavily, does not lead to
lung cancer. Compounds in marijuana may, in fact, protect against
certain cancers. Research has shown THC cuts tumour growth in half in
common lung cancer while impeding its ability to spread. THC may also
kill aging cells and keep them from becoming cancerous.
