A new study reveals the danger of smoking marijuana

Marijuana Users 6 Times More Likely to Have a Heart Attack

According to a new study that analyzed data from more than 4.6 million people, marijuana users are six times more likely to have a heart attack than those who don’t use the drug.
The study followed adults younger than 50 who didn’t have any comorbidities from 2010 to 2018.
According to research that was pre-published in the journal JACC: Advances, the study found “evidence linking cannabis use to adverse cardiovascular events, including MI [Myocardial Infarction], ischemic stroke, HF [heart failure] and mortality.”
Specifically, cannabis users were six times more likely to have a heart attack, four times more likely to have an ischemic stroke, two times more likely to experience heart failure — and the risk of death from cardiovascular problems, heart attack or stroke, was tripled.
It was not specified if the cannabis consumption was via smoking or edibles.
It’s recommended that marijuana users talk to their doctors about their cannabis use so they have a better understanding of their cardiovascular health.
