No, it does not: Marijuana does not kill cancer cells.  In fact, marijuana use may suppress the immune system.  You need your immune system to be in tip-top shape to look for and kill cancer cells as they develop.    http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/11/101124214728.htm.

: Hair grows on average about 1/2 inch per month. But everyone is different. So if you're average, you've got 60+ days of hair on your head. Cut it back to an inch and you may just pass your test.

May be not: Weed is not likely to delay bone healing but over time it will progressively mess up your head. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form.
