      You’ll probably be shocked to hear that people who smoke cannabis are less likely to develop lung cancer than those who don’t smoke.

      “We hypothesized that there would be a positive association between marijuana use and lung cancer,” the study’s lead author explained. “What we found instead was no association at all, and even a suggestion of some protective effect.”
