Researchers at the University of California, San Diego , looked at health records from 1,088 colon cancer patients.

They compared the data of daily marijuana users to those of non-users.

People who used marijuana daily before their diagnosis had a 56% chance of dying within five years of their cancer diagnosis.

Those with cannabis addiction prior to cancer diagnosis were 24.4 times more likely to die.
