Does THC increase the risk of testicular cancer?

Yes, there's a study that was published in 2009 about TCH and testicular cancer that concluded that young men who smoke pot are more likely to develop testicular cancer. In fact, smoking at least once a week, or using it regularly from adolescence, they concluded, doubled the chance of nonseminoma (the more aggressive form of the cancer).

Apparently THC disrupts the natural process whereby men produce a similar substance that protects the testes against tumors.

So yes, THC and testicular cancer are linked.
