not sure if it is directly related to lung cancer as there have been no studies or real studies onthe direct coralation between the 2lots of things can cause lung cancer and many people that smoke marijuana usually smoke cigarettes so we cant say it does cause cancer but it does have some carcinogens.yes it does help reduce nausea and fever some nerve pain and other things

There's this weed that had poisonous spiky hairs on the thick stem, and if manhandled, spreads it's seeds really fast and the hairs can cause tumors in the hands. Also really hard to pull up and the root can grow more plants. And it's in the U.S.! Wyoming!

There was a very recent study that showed that marijuana use did not cause lung cancer as cigarette smoking did.\n\nThere are also studies showing that it reduces the pain of glaucoma and cancer, and because it increases appetite, it helps when cancer patients are going through chemo.

Ok, you are wrong, weed has about 10 times the amount of carcinogens as tobacco.  The last time you smoked weed is almost irrelevant.  It's a matter of how much have you smoked in the psat month?  Canabanoids also can be stored in fat cells.  If you smoked a lot (say two bowls a day) every day until 3 days ago you will probably fail.  If you happened to exercise a lot the day of and before the test you will probably fail (if you used to smoke a lot.)  If you smoke two or three times a week you will be fine, but might show up as traces (not proof in a court or to a PO)  Also, the fact that 90% is your sisters will help you greatly even if you do smoke a lot you could still only show up as trace amounts.  If it comes back positive you won't get a retest, I'm sorry... if it comes back traces you MIGHT get a retest or they will just say good bye.

I think it's safe to say that smoking anything when you have asthma is going to worsen your condition. Whatever marijuana's medicinal properties, it most assuredly does not help with asthma.

There's a lot of studies that say it causes cancer.  Personally I think everything causes or is said to cause cancer so why worry about it.

Matt and Bert are both correct but there are so many factors.  Some kinds of cancer seems to "run" in families.  Recent things I've read indicate that if all men lived to be 80 years old almost all of them would have prostate cancer.  Many kinds of cancer seem to be affected by poor diet, though not directly caused by it.  Smoking and other pollution and chemicals in the environment seem to have an effect.  People who are obese seem to be more likely to get certain kinds of cancer.\n\nThe bottom line is that there is no simple answer to your question.  Do some internet searches for differnt kinds of cancer and you'll get more specific information.

no..it is illegal in every state under federal law. If you start a med. marijuan cooperative, Bush's DoJ will bust in and throw all the terminally ill cancer patients in jail.

A carcinogen is a substance that is capable of causing cancer in humans or animals. If a substance is known to promote or aggravate cancer, but not necessarily cause cancer,may act on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), causing dangerous changes, or it may work to increase the rate of cell division. This change in cell division may work to increase the probability of DNA changes. Some carcinogens promote the development of cancer in other ways as well.

Not always gives cancer, but it has metals in it, but there are alternates such as Bert's Bee's type deoterent.\nIt does'nt contain any metals although it may be a little more expensive.\nI dont know what kind of cancer it could cause, but remember, it goes in your bloodstream, so it could cause any kind.\nIt's best to avoid all metals in your body.\nNo idea what the chances are.

A study reported in a recent issue of the journal Cancer Research suggests that eating a diet full of beans, nuts and cereals may help prevent cancer. This is because these foods contain an active compound that inhibits the growth of cancers.\n\nScientists found the anti-cancer agent called inositol pentakisphosphate at the University College London. The scientist were cited by Reuters as saying the substance, also found in lentils and peas, may direct researchers to develop new drugs against cancer.\n\nThe compound, as explained by the scientists, acts upon an enzyme called phosphoinositide 3-kinase and inhibits tumor growth.\n\nIn the current study, the scientists proved the anti-cancer properties of inositol pentakisphosphate in mice and cancer cells in the laboratory. It was found that this compound killed tumor cells and boosted the effect of drugs used against cancer cells such as ovarian and lung cancer cells.\n\nAccording to the study, the compound is non-toxic, which allows it to be used at high concentrations to aid chemotherapy.\n______________________________________________\nThe second link lists the top ten anti cancer foods as well... I personally think sweet potato on there...but oh well.

Yes, There is Anal Cancer, but it is usually connected to colorectal cancer. the Prognosis if caught early is very good and today the treatment are usually either surgery with chemo if there are a lot of lympth glands involved or in bad cases chemo, and radiation are used to kill the remaining growth that was not removed by the surgery.

A meta-analysis on this issue was reported in the May 2005 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).  They found 'some evidence' for increased risks of certain types of cancer and recommended additional research.\n\nHope this is helpful for you.
