#82So anyone who knows someone who has "pulled a whitey" when smoking weed has experienced a sudden release of glutathione https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutathione#Cosmetics So not surprised with this news considering the role it plays in cancer prevention initially and then protects the cancer cells once they get established.
Glutathione release from where? This makes no sense.
L-cysteine, glycine, and L-glutamate

Even for the generations now who grew up with freely-available (but sadly not "matter-of-course") HPV vaccination?
Can't answer your question but AFAIK the vaccination only covers something like 6 strains of HPV and there are many more.
There is a 9-valent vaccine for HPV but I don’t know if it is approved in the US.
It’s a shame that the vaccine isn’t approved for older people as it appears to suppress a variety of viral cancers beyond HPV specifically.

Can you explain? The title paper is 'Cannabinoids Promote Progression of HPV-Positive Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma via p38 MAPK Activation'. You are probably refering to their press release.

“ Cannabinoids Promote Progression of HPV-Positive Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma via p38 MAPK Activation”
That is the study name. You are referencing the title of the press release from the university they work at.
While it’s perfectly fair to discuss the historical context of words, it’s important that we also recognize that using commonly used terminology in translating science for public consumption is necessary.
It’s also important to get basic facts right before trying to criticize peoples research.

The N word is also commonly used, doesn't mean it's right. There should be no place for racism in academia. I am surprised this is up since 2020.

My bad, Thank you for pointing out. The press release should be corrected though.

Exposure to THC is what matters >... researchers have identified the molecular mechanism activated by the presence of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)... in the bloodstream that accelerates cancer growth...
sigh, a lot of articles in the past mentionned the positive effects of cannabinoids on tumor growth (slower growth, no metastasis, also apoptosis trigger) so now it's a double edged sword.
It seems everything we eat both causes and prevents cancer, if all the different research is to be believed.

Conclusions: Associations with cancer risk or benefits have been claimed for most food ingredients. Many single studies highlight implausibly large effects, even though evidence is weak. Effect sizes shrink in meta-analyses.
