- W365838210 abstract "Habitual marijuna use may lead to the following effects on the lung: acute and chronic bronchitis; extensive microscopic abnormalities in the cells lining the bronchial passages, some of which may be premalignant; overexpression of molecular markers of progression to lung cancer in bronchial tissue; abnormally increased accumulation of inflammatory cells (alveolar macrophages) in the lung; and impairment in the function of these immune-effector cells (reduced ability to kill microorganisms and tumor cells) and in their ability to produce protective inflammatory cytokines. Clinically, the major pulmonary consequences that may ensue from regular marijuana use are pulmonary infections and respiratory cancer. Infections of the lung are more likely in marijuana users because of a combination of smoking-related damage to the ciliated cells in the bronchial passages (the lung’s first line of defense against inhaled microorganisms) and marijuana-related impairment in the function of alveolar macrophages (the principal immune cells in the lung responsible for defending it against infection). Patients with pre-existing immune deficits caused by AIDS or cancer chemotherapy might be expected to be particularly vulnerable to marijuana-related pulmonary infections. Furthermore, biochemical, cellular, genetic, animal, and human studies all suggest that marijuana is an important risk factor for the development of respiratory cancer. However, proof that habitual use of marijuana does in fact lead to respiratory cancer must await the results of well-designed case-control epidemiologic studies that should now be feasible after the passage of 30 years since the inititation of widespread marijuana use among young individuals in our society in the mid-1960s." @default.
