The research paints a sobering picture of the hidden health consequences of widespread cannabis consumption as more and more countries legalize its use recreationally.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers from the University of Western Australia found that\u00a0<a class=\"noskim\" href=\"https:\/\/studyfinds.org\/cannabis-anxiety-disorders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" data-mrf-link=\"https:\/\/studyfinds.org\/cannabis-anxiety-disorders\/\">cannabis exposure<\/a>\u00a0was associated with significant increases in cancers, particularly breast, pancreatic, liver, thyroid, and testicular. Testicular cancer risk rose 2.6 times among cannabis users.
