There's a type of cancer linked to HIV infection and transplant patients -those with weakened immune systems. It's called Kaposi's Sarcoma. New research finds the active ingredient in pot .. THC .. appears to enhance the ability of the virus causing Kaposi's to infect cells and multiply.

The research, published in the August 1 issue of Cancer Research serves as a warning to those patients who use medical marijuana or the drug, recreationally.

It will be interesting to see how this info may be used by those opposed to medical marijuana.

The study was done by the National Institutes of Health.
