Even if this is 100% true, the likelyhood is only twice as much? Honestly, that is fucking nothing compared to shit people use every day. Newsflash, practically everything causes cancer.

Eh, I'm not convinced.
Actually, that 70% of guys without testicular cancer DID admit to using marijuana. So we're talking about a 17% difference.
Or a 24% difference: 87% is 24% more than 70%

Well, I look at it this way---
81% of 163 of those with cancer used marijuana -- 132 individuals.
If the percentage of use was the same as in the general population, 70%, the number of people with cancer who had used would be 70% of 163, or 114 individuals.
This represents only an 18 individuals difference. If you take 10 groups of 163 people, the variance over those that have used marijuana and those who haven't will certainly on average approach or even vary more than 18 individuals.
They also give no information on lifelong usage-- would a single experience with marijuana lead to cancer? extremely unlikely, but the study doesn't disambiguate this, and in the study, they seem to include people that have only used it once or twice or decades ago, as no deeper stats are given.
I'm all for science of course, but statistics like this are not compelling at all.

Bullshit.
Statistics on Testicular Cancer Diagnosis
The median age at diagnosis for 2000 to 2003 was 34 years of age. The percentages of people diagnosed with testicular cancer based on age were:
5.4 percent were diagnosed under age 20
45.8 percent between 20 and 34
30.9 percent between 35 and 44
13.1 percent between 45 and 54
2.9 percent between 55 and 64
1.1 percent between 65 and 74
0.6 percent between 75 and 84
0.2 percent 85+ years of age.
70% of these people used Microwaves!
