    Lets just admit it,

    No-one has a fucking clue what causes cancer...

    Obviously, this is bad if it's true, but there are some things to consider:

    They studied 369 men aged 18 to 44, who had been diagnosed with testicular cancer, and quizzed them about marijuana use.
    Their replies were compared to those from almost 1,000 apparently healthy control subjects.
    Even after adjusting the figures to take account of the other known risk factors, marijuana use remained a clear risk factor for testicular cancer.
    This leaves out something crucial: the rate of marijuana use among the healthy population in the area and the rate of marijuana use among the testicular cancer patients. If there is no increased marijuana usage rate among cancer patients when compared to the rate of marijuana usage among healthy subjects, that is if both testicular cancer patients and healthy people smoke the same amount, then you can't reach the conclusion that marijuana usage increases the cancer rate. Can someone check my logic?

    And, sure enough, from a CNN article on it:

    Overall, 26 percent of the testicular cancer patients were pot smokers (15 percent who used daily or weekly) at the time of diagnosis, compared with 20 percent of men without cancer (10 percent who used daily or weekly).
    Link.

    26% of the testicular cancer patient population vs. 20% of the healthy selected control population? 15% heavy use in the cancer patient pop vs. 10% heavy use in the control pop?

    The way they probably got the increased risk of 2.3 times is by comparing it to the marijuana usage rate for the entire population of the US, not just those with similar characteristics of the patients (namely age and gender). Since age and gender are the two biggest risk factors for testicular cancer (you know, girls don't get testicular cancer and have a significantly lower rate of marijuana usage), I'm calling bullshit.

    Anyone else agree?

    Its more than Just Spain that has found these types of results. The most visual of which I can show you is The Seth Group

    http://www.sethgroup.com

    Seth Group is located in San Fransico CA, and they are probably having a hard time getting more samples from the University of Minnisota where all American weed is controled for supply to researchers.

    This is a good landing page if you are looking for medical proof that THC neutralizes cancer cells from all ranges of cancer. Dont fucking believe that politically influenced study when they obvious fucked the numbers.

    So here is a good source of Info if you really want to know the trueth;

    http://www.safeaccessnow.org/article.php?id=748

    There are over 30 independant research studies with links to their medical papers and journal publications regarding their results on the use of THC to fight all types of cancer ranging from brain cancer to colon cancer...

    http://safeaccess.ca/research/cancer.htm

    Before believing that THC causes testicle cancer read the above journals

    you know the score big time!
    because they cant patent the constituants that are in marijuana they have to synthesis it (GW Pharmacuticals).

    I hate my countries government so much, that un democratically elected wierdo (Brown) was on morning TV and he said something like...we need to eradicate these "lethal" strains of cannabis from our streets....

    since when has cannabis been anywhere near as lethal as fucking tobacco or alcohol
    lethal means it can kill you....this guys running our country....scary shit man.
    why does he allow GW to produce tons of the stuff in the the UK if its so fucking damn lethal
    what a cont.
