 My mind won't shut down... Here's another thought. With so many people on this sight, it would be very interesting to know the answer to this.Wouldn't it be wonderful if MJ prevented cancer and maybe other diseases that it treats? A lot of the things MMJ helps seem to be symptoms, but not all. If someone using MJ on a regular basis HAS gotten cancer, then how long were they smoking/ eating or other before the diagnosis? Think of the millions the pharm. companies would lose just if this is a cure... billions if everyone can use it as a preventative. hmmm Why does this cross my mind?? I feel a bit doomed to be next on the hit list in my family. I have my father as the only one of his side of the family, but he has it worse f all as stage 4. Then there's mom, her sister, her mother, AND other grandmother. yikes for me. hehe | ||

| Well, I'm not worrying about that yet.... at least not until Dad is taking his oil and gettign better. Ths i ssuch a simple question... I wish someone would answer! If MJ is a preventative for cancer, people will pay more attenton than if it's a cure. Even the most resistant of people to 'drugs' don't want cancer themselves. | ||

I never heard the preventitive thing before. That's a really broad and ambiguous claim however. Lots of different cancers out there. And yes, regular long time MJ smokers do get cancer and other chronic life long icky things.

| sadly, cancer is much more genetic than it is catchable. If cancer runs in your family, get regular yearly prostate ,breast, lung etc check ups starting at about age 30. | ||

| Lusitano, anything you smoke can and will give you cancer, and lung or throat cancer has nothing to do with family genetics, as other types of cancer. I think you're confusing a bit the healing property's of hemp oil with mj intake, two different things all together, really. It seems that few that have tried the oil as a daily medicine, and many others insist, that hemp oil kills damaged cancerous cells and at the same time rejuvenates new ones. But the answer to your Q is, Yes, smoking mj is hazardous to your health.  | ||
