In this so called study they say that heavy pot use increases testicular cancer by 70%. There are a couple of small problems. The study was funded by an anti-drug government organization that is biased and the The National Cancer Institute another government organization still staffed by bush appointees. If you do the #'s it's statically insignificant, testicular cancer is very rare, accounting for only 1 percent of all cancers in the U.S., 8,000 men are diagnosed with testicular cancer each year. The population is about 152,000,000 males If you take the percentage of males that age that smoke pot 15-25%, when you do the math the whole thing is ridiculous and means nothing.

We all know those studies can be read anyway you want them to be. But at least I don't have to worry.......never had any testiculars to get Cancer of.

Very probable that the researchers were direct descendants of the producers of that famous movie "REEFER MADNESS"
If you haven't seen it,,, you should,,,, it shows the inherent dangers of smoking that evil substance.

Guy walks into a psychologist's office wearing nothing but saran wrap wrapped around his body.
He asks the shrink: Doctor! What the hell's wrong with me?
Shrink says to him: Sir, I can clearly see yer nuts!
Bada-bing!

Actually, not ejaculating anymore is also a cause for increasing the risk of prostate cancer. So you all know what you should do ...

How good does it have to be?
Here is one to our good old balls collector
Two Hippies are walking down a railroad track stoned.
One Hippie says, "This is a really long f*@king staircase!"
The other Hippie says "I don't mind the stairs, it's this low f*@king handrail that’s killing me."
