Marijuana causes cancer....

[MmatsDude 10+ year member]

This is actually very misleading.
The carcinogens and tars from smoked cannabis typically cause cancer.

However, the THC and cannabidiol seem to have a protective effect against cancer. In some trials, application of THC led cancer cells to go into a state of autophagy, where they eat themselves to death.

Dr. Donald Tashkin of UCLA conducted extensive research on the correlation between smoking cannabis and lung cancer. He was hired to do this research on behalf of the Federal Government. His conclusion was that cannabis does not cause lung cancer, and appears to have a protective effect through apoptosis, which kills the cancerous cells before they become malignant.

He also did research into the relationship between COPD and cannabis smoking. COPD stands for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, which refers to emphysema, bronchitis, and other obstructions of the airways. Dr. Tashkin found that smoking cannabis alone did not increase a person's risk of COPD or respiratory problems, although there was an additive effect if smoked with tobacco.

So there is the truth. For all the people who can't post anything better than "SMOKE WEEEEEEDDDD!!!!", please learn the facts and use them to your advantage.

Theres so many sources(researches) that claim diferent things, how do we know wich are truths?

There are no researchers that have established a causal effect between cannabis and cancer. Ever. It has, however, demonstrated several times that it can aid in killing or slowing the progression of cancer.

This is not to say that it is impossible for cannabis to be a part of harm. However, it is a relatively benign substance.

Personally I think all the strain names are dumb. You never know if its 100% that strain. People just throw a name on it. To me its either some fire *** dank or mids.

For the most part people don't know wtf they are talking about. If you got it from the guy who grew it though, I would think they would have a good idea what it is.
