Testicular cancer from weed? I call bullshit.

  1. old...yes it is bullshit...
     
  2. Alright good, sort of scared me a bit.
    Is there a study proving otherwise?
     
  3. uh...you can NOT prove a negative...;)

    But you can look into Granny Storm Crow's list of studies of MJ's effects on cancer (reversing it).
     
  4. Yeah I've seen plenty of studies on reversing it, and I was trying to lookup this study they did in San Francisco on how it didn't effect teens negatively then all these negative studies came up instead.
     
  5. Endocrine effects of marijuana in the male: ... [NIDA Res Monogr. 1984] - PubMed - NCBI

    not saying it causes testicular cancer, but it can contribute to secondary hypogonadism, lowering LH output=lower testosterone. Alcohol has very similar effects.

    I know we would have a bunch of feminine stoners walking around if this lowered T to dangerous levels, I'm not claiming it causes a permanent drop in T production for MAJORITY of smokers, but a select few I'm sure it does.

    Yeah...there's definitely a link between weed and testicular cancer. You see, some folks who have testicles smoke weed, and some folks who have testicles develop testicular cancer; in fact, only people with testicles develop testicular cancer....it's a pretty ballsy thing to do really.

    So unfortunately, since some folks who have testicles and smoke weed develop testicular cancer, it must definitely be the cannabis, seeing as it's illegal and immoral and dangerous. Genetics never have anything to do with illness in cannabis users, and other environmental factors are certainly never contributors since the government has assured us that all of the toxins in our chicken mcnuggets and tv-dinners are perfectly safe at prescribed levels...just like asbestos oven mitts 50 years ago.

    Now if you'll excuse me...I'm going to go chug down my super healthy mineral water that is packaged in the nice clean looking bottle made from crude oil...

  8. I think so too
