Cancer due to the use of psychedelics substances ?

[B1ack_Ph03niX]

Hello friends
I was recently reading about celebrities who used psychedelics substance, and something about them bothers me that most of these people have died from various cancers.
People like:

Terence McKenna => Cause of death: Brain tumours
Carlos Castaneda => Cause of death: Liver cancer
Aldous Huxley => Cause of death: Laryngeal cancer
Peter Matthiessen => Cause of death: Leukemia
Richard Feynman => Cause of death: Abdominal cancer
Dock Ellis => Cause of death: Cirrhosis of the liver
steve jobs => Cause of death: Pancreatic cancer

I know science can't relate cancer and other diseases to psychedelic substance, but I think that's a controversial subject.
this link discussed about the cause of Terence McKenna's death in Shroomy forum:

Terence asked his doctors if his brain cancer could be related to substance use. They told him no. He was particularly concerned about marijuana since he used that heavily.

Instead the doctors told him that marijuana - if anything - was showing indications that if it could delay/slow cancer.

Terence said something like: "I assure you doctor, if marijuana could do that, we would not be having this conversation right now".

I can try to find the podcast where he said this if anyone is interested. I know of at least one example in the psychedelic salon.

Did Richard Feynman ever trip on psychedelics? The only info i can find is that he was trip-sitted by Jaron Lenier when he was dying of cancer and wanted to experience LSD before he died.

i have did a little search about unnatural death . It seems that about 50% to 95% of people (based on different sites) die from abnormal factors (cancer / illness / accidents etc).
so few people die with natural causes and your reasons were logical thus i think i am wrong about this relation .
thanks for your time to clear me up about this.

Cannabis (cannabinoids) have shown some promise, but smoking is always carcinogenic.

Fuck combustion

Yeah I'd bet that no matter how anticancer a plant may be, smoking too much would be carcinogenic.
