Add this to the long list of reasons why drugs are a dead end.

A new study shows occasionally smoking marijuana could increase the risk for testicular cancer.

The study is published in the Journal Cancer.

It compared marijuana use between testicular cancer patients and a separate group of healthy men.

Researchers found men who had smoked were twice as likely to have fatal forms of the cancer.

Testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer diagnosed in young men.
