The 5-year period is notably the time frame from when marijuana was legalized in the State. While the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes has been legal in Colorado since 2000, it wasn’t until 2012 that the drug was made legal for recreational use as well. The JNO study found that of the more than 800,000 reported cases of CHS between 2013 and 2018, the rate was highest in Colorado counties with no marijuana dispensaries until the drug was legalized in the State.

The disease-fighting cells targeted by lymphoma include the bone marrow, spleen, thymus gland, lymph nodes, and others. The presence of lymphoma causes these member-cells of the immune system to change and multiply rapidly and out of control. Just about everyone who drinks is familiar with the not-so-pleasant side effects of alcohol, such as a false sense of euphoria, drowsiness, diarrhea, vomiting, and of course, the hangover that comes with its own set of symptoms incl...
