admin — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 19:14:53 +0000

Does regular marijuana smoking cause COPD, Emphysema and/or Lung Cancer? In part 3, Donald Tashkin, MD examines cancer risk and overall results from his study.
Donald P. Tashkin, MD – Medical Director of the Pulmonary Function Laboratory, Professor of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles.

After 25 years of research, here are the study’s
Summery & Conclusions:
* Habitual marijuana smoking is ociated with:
- Symptoms of acute and chronic bronchitis
- Evidence of microscopic injury to bronchial lining cells.
- Inconsistant evidence of mild airway obstruction.
* but NOT with an accelerated decline in lung function.
- Thus unlikely to be ociated with the development of clinically significant COPD.

* In a large, prospectively designed population-based case-control study:
- We did NOT observe a positive ociation of marijuana use – even after heavy long-term use, with either lung or UAT cancer, controlling for tobacco use and other possible confounders.
- In marked contrast, we confirmed the strong dose-dependent effect of tobacco use on the occurence of these cancers.”
