Yale University Study: Marijuana Addiction Has A Genetic Predisposition, Addicts Have A Higher Risk Of Lung Cancer

Large scale studies have found that marijuana addicts have a higher risk of lung cancer.
According to Proyectopuente, a study led by Yale University has found that marijuana addiction has a genetic predisposition, and people with marijuana addiction have a higher risk of developing lung cancer. The study covered data from over one million patients on four continents and the results have been published in the journal Nature Genetics.
Genetics professor Joel Gelernter said, "The idea behind this study is that we believe that as marijuana use becomes more permissive, it is necessary to understand the risks associated with disorders that lead to addiction in order to develop drug therapies to address this issue.
To date, the negative effects of marijuana addiction on health include that over one-third of marijuana addicts are more likely to become addicted to marijuana than non addicts. More than one-third of people who smoke marijuana are addicted and have a negative impact on their health.
These consequences include impaired cognitive function, decreased work efficiency, and the risk of accidents after getting drunk.
Gene analysis collected data from 1,54365 individuals; Among them, 886256,25 people come from Europe; 123208 people from Africa; 38289 people are of mixed race in the United States; 6843 people come from Asia.
