Can Marijuana Smoking Cause Lung Cancer?

Marijuana is gradually overcoming the legal obstructions and it becoming legally accepted in few states both medically and recreationally. Still it is not clear if inhaling marijuana can cause lung cancer. If you have questions while buying medical marijuana online you can consult a specialist ahead.

How Can It Help in Cancer?

The cancer is a medical term that describes a group of related diseases. In every case, the cells start to divide and spread to the tissues around. Gradually it spreads all over the body and organs. Typically, the cell division of the body depends on the need of the body. When the cells are old or get damaged, the natural process of cell generation happens. The old cells die and the new cells take the place. However, when the cancer grows in the body the cells become carcinogenic and this cell generation process breaks down and starts behaving abruptly. In cancer, the old cells do not die when they should and new cells do not form when it is required.

Regarding this scenario, the researchers and the scientists are eager to know if the medical marijuana can help in this situation. Recently a study has been published in the Molecular Cancer Therapeutics with a conclusion involving medical marijuana or CBD that it induces cell death in breast cancer patients.

The patients who opted against having chemotherapy or other treatments for cancer believing it would have adverse effect on rest of the life have chosen medical marijuana. They took the product two times a day. Within the two first months, the lung tumor has shown up with significant reduction in size and the doctors mentioned it as ‘near total resolution’.

Marijuana use was not associated with tobacco-related cancers or with cancer of the following sites: colorectal, lung, melanoma, and breast.

The use of marijuana was never associated with the cancers related to tobacco or other sites like lungs, breasts, colorectal or melanoma. In a conductive study based on the population of 611 people affected by lung cancer has revealed that the chronic low cannabis exposure has nothing to do with the greater risks of lung cancer or other upper aerodigestive tract cancers.

The Conclusion

The researchers conclude that the cancers are not strongly associated with marijuana even in long-term or heavy use.

Depending on the inhaling process than tobacco, people might invite problems. Usually marijuana is inhaled deeply and held for long time inside.
