Listen Up, Michael Phelps!

Bad for nuts

An alarming new study says that smoking marijuana has been linked to a very aggressive form of testicular cancer.
According to Reuters:
The study of 369 Seattle-area men ages 18 to 44 with testicular cancer and 979 men in the same age bracket without the disease found that current marijuana users were 70 percent more likely to develop it compared to nonusers.
In all fairness it's a small study and the guys had to be smoking dope for more than 10 years, before they were 18 and/or more than once a week.
Still, it's something you might want to consider before taking that bong.

Makes me wonder, is there any connection between testes and testify. Like does it go back to the Greeks when one had to have balls to testify against someone.
