Nice post NJM.
Seems like a solid response, but I'm wondering about this one part:

What qualifies as nominally? The original study mentioned that testicular cancer rates have doubled in the last half century, from 3% to 6%. However, it doesn't mention the rates of nonseminoma specifically. Does NORML have any info on this? Or any specific numbers on the increase in pot-smoking males? I ask more out of curiosity than any confidence in the study's implications.
