Recent study published in Cancer, a highly reputable biomedical journal:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29099116/

Apparently, longterm pot users may face the greatest risk. Assuming that this report was written fairly by the mainstream media, this should be a heads-up for anyone who uses marijuana to any extent, even daily. I haven't gone to the source, just read this report.
 
The risk appeared to be highest among men who had reported smoking marijuana for at least 10 years, used it more than once a week or started using it before age 18, the researchers wrote in the journal Cancer.

Massively uncool. At least there is a 96% five year survival rate.

Even if you get it, the worst thing that will probably happen to you is you'd lose one testicle, which is no big deal.

The only thing is, every time you have an argument with someone who knows about it, they will probably say something like "you have some ball mister", just to bust your...ball.

LOL! So far as I know, of those, only #3 has been directly found to be carcinogenic. The article isn't long, and it's been put into layspeak. Check it out.
 
Lab rats are genetically predisposed to all forms of cancer.

Life on earth causes cancer.



Darla, newer research shows smoking pot causes testicular cancer in men, and testicular growth in women. So there is still time for you to get your ball busted. :rolleyes:
