The Relationship Between Cannabis and Cancer in Men

چکیده
Cannabis is the most commonly used illicit drug in Canada, and is much more likely to be used by young people (15 to 24 years) than by adults (25+ years; Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse [CCSA], 2014). In 2013, Canadian men reported nearly double the cannabis use of Canadian women (13.9% vs. 7.4%; Statistics Canada, 2015a). Smoking is the most common way to ingest cannabis, either as a cigarette, or in a pipe or bong (CCSA, 2015).
