“MEN who regularly smoke cannabis may have a lower risk of developing bladder cancer, research suggests.”

“Scientists found regular cannabis users were 45% less likely to get the disease compared with men who didn’t smoke the drug. 

Anil Thomas of Los Angeles Medical Centre in California tracked the incidence of bladder cancer among 82,050 men aged 45 to 69. 

Men who reported using cannabis once or twice had no reduction in the incidence of the cancer while those who had used the drug more than 500 times showed a reduction. 

Dr Thomas said: “Bladder cancer is the fourth most common malignancy in men. 

“The results could lead to further studies to determine if the active components of cannabis have biologic activity against bladder cancer.””
