Marijuana May not Cause Cancer, According to Research
Marijuana is commonly conceived as being a contributor to cancers in the upper body, namely oral cancers; however, recent research discredits this belief. A 2004 study published in Cancer Research indicated that marijuana did not augment the risk of oral cancers, even among those with a genetic propensity to develop them (as cited in "Study finds no association," 2004).
Not only do studies prove that marijuana doesn't cause certain cancers; they also indicate that, perhaps, marijuana can protect against and treat cancer. In 2005, researchers published work in Mini Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry, asserting that marijuana has an anticancer effect, as the cannabinoids it contains can contribute to the death of cancerous cells, inhibiting growth and spreading (Kogan, 2005). Salazar et al. (2009) would agree with this evidence, as their research cites animal studies which have shown an inhibition of tumor growth as a result of cannabis administration.
Specifically speaking, compounds in cannabinoids have been proven to be affective in the treatment of breast cancer, according to a study featured in Molecular Cancer Therapeutics. It seems that the compounds treat aggressively-spreading breast cancer, impeding upon the expression of genes responsible for the growth and movement of cancer away from the initial tumor (as cited in "Marijuana compound shows," 2007). Confirming this finding, German researchers for the University of Rostock found that key compounds in marijuana retard tumor growth, publishing the results in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (as cited in "Marijuana may inhibit," 2008).
