This vivid program points out new research that links marijuana smoking with head and neck cancers in addition to the already known risk of developing lung cancer. The video tells the story of a young man, whose chronic marijuana smoking developed cancer of his tongue, neck and jaw and who is now permanently disfigured.
Video also reveals the recent research of Dr. Paul Donald who has been studying head and neck cancers in young people. Pictures are shown of many young marijuana smokers who subsequently developed similar cancers. Another physician displays chest x-rays of young marijuana smokers who have developed life-threatening lung cancer. After viewing this video, viewers will think twice before lighting up a joint.
