   Researcher Dr Sarah Aldington, of the Medical Research Institute in Wellington, presented the new case-control study to the Thoracic Society conference in Auckland yesterday.
   
   Cannabis users may have thought they were safe from lung cancer after a Californian study of more than 1600 people last year found no link between the disease and smoking the drug.
   
   Dr Aldington said the evidence on cannabis and the risk of lung cancer was limited and conflicting.
   
   Her study found the risk rose more than five-fold among the third of users smoking the most cannabis.
   
   "In conclusion there is a relationship between cannabis smoking and lung cancer in this study," she said.

   Dr Aldington said cannabis was the most commonly used recreational drug in the world, used by 161 million people, and its use was increasing in many countries.
   
   She said cannabis contained 50 per cent more cancer-causing chemicals than tobacco.
