Benzyprene is in the tar of both tobacco and cannabis cigarettes. We know that benzyprene causes cancer. It alters a gene called p53, which is a tumor suppressor gene. We know that 3 out of 4 lung cancers (75%) occur in people who have faulty p53 genes. The p53 gene is also linked to many other cancers. That's one of many carcinogenic substances in both tobacco and marijuana. What kind of alleged health professional advises people to smoke something they know has carcinogens and even tells them it probably prevents cancer? Especially on the basis of lab tests of materials in a test tube rather than on actual users. Using pure substances in the lab is very different from actually smoking it. They use far higher concentrations in lab tests than you could get from smoking cannabis. There are likely lots of things that would promote cancer in real life that would kill cancer cells in high concentrations in a test tube. Does smoking weed before a car trip make you a safer driver too? 9news.com
