While many people don’t view marijuana as being a dead-serious drug, the oft-termed gateway drug is actually a real killer. A new study out of the American Chemical Society found that the herb damages DNA and, in turn, triggers cancer.
“These results provide evidence for the DNA damaging potential of cannabis smoke, implying that the consumption of cannabis cigarettes may be detrimental to human health with the possibility to initiate cancer development,” according to the researchers.
“The data obtained from this study highlights the need for stringent regulation of the consumption of cannabis cigarettes, thus limiting the development of adverse health effects such as cancer.”
On top of being a carcinogen, credible evidence has also recently linked marijuana to disrupted brain development and late-life psychotic disorders.
The bottom-line: Even a quick rendezvous with Mary Jane can leave you with a lifetime of regret.
