If a man has smoked marijuana on a weekly basis or has been exposed to hashish for an extended period of time, the chances of testicular cancer double compared to someone who has never smoked marijuana.
The study found that marijuana could also decrease sperm quality, decrease testosterone levels and cause impotency, since these are similar side effects of testicular cancer.
This is interesting news.
It will without doubt give
somemen something to think
about before starting or
continuing to use marijuana.
"What young men should know is that first, we know very little about the long-term health consequences of marijuana smoking, especially heavy marijuana smoking," Schwartz said in a press release. "So, in the absence of more certain information, a decision to smoke marijuana recreationally means that one is taking a chance on one's future health."

We need to hear more about alcohol causes liver cancer, esophageal cancer, especially if you drink and smoke, and all about all those birth defects, loss of capacity to do math, psychoses, auto accidents, and all the rest all of which actually went down during Prohibition.
But evil weed is always the worst thing around.
Don't do a lot of smoking. Why do you smoke more than once a week? Use a lot of anti-oxidants.And don't worry.

Roy C,
I completely agree with your statement! I've got family members (cousins and such) with fetal alcohol syndrom, severe mental capacity issues, and even in those not born with obvious alcohol related issues there is some serious delays of mental capacity. I also have a daughter, whom I only get to see once a week because I turned her mother in and the courts and social services here are horrible, who was born early (emergency c-sec) due to alcohol abuse (closet case). upon finding this out I turned the mother in, and the rest of the story sucks and takes a long time to tell.
P.S. anyone know of a probono lawyer for family law in the state of MN (custody issues) please send me an email to ddarwin1@charter.net
thank you

I don't smoke anything and seldom drink so at least I don't have to worry about that.

this is crap.. Think about this how come there is never a definite answer yes it does or no it doesn't. Why is it that "Weed" is outlawed , but has the ability to heal? Liquor dones nothing but harm and kills but you can find it in every state. And, why is it that some of the weed smokes live longer than the non smoker? Weed doesnt impair you to the point where you can harm any one but, it is ok to kill people while drunk driving. You have never heard of peopl high of weed trying to do nothing but chill and be intellectual. Tell me why there is a scientist in Russia who has been trying out cures for cancer and he is successful from his research but they wont allow it here in AMERICA. We live here but people they hate us no matter the color or anything our government and the rich hate us.......Why do you think they are so quick to blame crap on the poor people..Weed is the enemy because it is grown morely over the border and uncle sam can get a hold on it. The are trying to pressure Mexico but lest face it what else does Mexico have going on .....THIS ARTICLE IS A SCARE TACTIC --U FAILED
