A "Genotoxic" substance causes damages a cell's genetic information, which can lead to DNA mutations, accelerated aging, and cancer. To make matters worse, this genotoxicity may be transmitted via damaged egg and sperm to the cannabis user's offspring, making the risk of cannabis use trans-generational.The researchers say that the genetic damage from cannabis use can be passed down the generations and thus a rethinking is required about the discussion surrounding cannabis legalization from a personal choice to one that potentially involves multiple subsequent generations.Cannabis use damages cellular energy production by inhibiting mitochondria and mitochondrial dysfunction drives chromosomal damage, which shows up as increased rates of cancer, accelerated aging, and birth defects.</blockquote>
