Menschen, die Marihuana in großen Mengen konsumieren, setzen sich einem mehr als dreifach höheren Risiko für Kopf- und Halskrebs aus. Die Studie ist vielleicht die gründlichste, die jemals zu diesem Thema durchgeführt wurde. Sie untersuchte 20 Jahre lang die Krankenakten von über 4 Millionen Erwachsenen in den USA.

And what about eating it?
It won’t open for me at the moment for some reason, have they controlled for just hot smoke? Hot smoke will cause cancers, we know that, so did they test this specifically for let’s say just edibles to come to this conclusion or what?
People who use marijuana at high levels are putting themselves at more than three times the risk for head and neck cancers, new research warns.
The study is perhaps the most rigorous ever conducted on the issue, tracking the medical records of over 4 million U.S. adults for 20 years.

Given the surging popularity of marijuana, cases of head and neck cancers “attributable to cannabis will continue to increase, and perhaps dramatically,” wrote a team of oncology experts led by Dr. Joseph Califano of the University of California, San Diego.
Their commentary accompanied the new findings, which were published Aug. 8 in the journal JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery.
The study was co-led by Dr. Niels Kokot, a professor of clinical otolaryngology-head & neck surgery at the University of Southern California (USC), in Los Angeles.

Meh…Newsmax…I’d need to see better data on test conditions and what constitutes ‘high levels’
LOTS of limitations. The blanket statement in this posts title seems like a far stretch. Some important questions:
Are chronic cannabis users in these groups more likely to also be chronic tobacco users? Tobacco use wasn’t accounted for, and was much more prominent during the time period of the records.
Can we see any increase over any other type of daily smoke exposure? Obviously other methods of consumption have different risks.
