Marijuana Use Associated With a "Significantly Reduced Risk" of Head and Neck Cancers
For some 35 years the United States federal government has been well aware that cannabis possesses potent anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties. And for the past three years, government-funded researchers have speculated that these qualities may offer 'protective' effects against the onset of various types of cancer in humans, including lung cancer.
Yet to date, virtually no investigators have taken the time to assess marijuana's potential anti-cancer effects in humans, until now.
In a clinical abstract just published online on the Cancer Prevention Research website, a team of U.S. investigators report that marijuana use, even long-term, is associated with a "significantly reduced risk" of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Read about this study in PubMed, which is a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health.
