Marijuana Users Are 6 Times More Likely to Have a Heart Attack, According to New Study​

A new study of 4.6 million people found that cannabis users were more like to experience heart failure, strokes, and cardiac arrest

Young marijuana users are six times more likely to have a heart attack than those who abstain from the drug, according to a new study that analyzed data from more than 4.6 million people.


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.


“Cannabis use appears to pose a substantial and independent risk for these outcomes, even in a population without traditional cardiovascular risk factors,” the study said. “These findings suggest cannabis as a novel and under-recognized risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.”


The study’s lead author, Dr. Ibrahim Kamel — a clinical instructor at the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and internal medicine resident at St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Boston — said doctors should ask about a patient’s cannabis use to get a better understanding of their cardiovascular health, reports SciTechDaily.


“At a policy level, a fair warning should be made so that the people who are consuming cannabis know that there are risks,” he said, according to the outlet.


It was not specified if the cannabis consumption was via smoking or edibles.



Kamel also shares that patients need to be honest with their doctors. “We should have some caution in interpreting the findings in that cannabis consumption is usually associated with other substances such as cocaine or other illicit drugs that are not accounted for,” Kamel said, according to the outlet. “Patients should be forthcoming with their doctors and remember that we are their number one advocate and having the full story matters.”

Obviously,

Weed is literally drenched in the worst cancer causing pesticides imaginable

Search your stash: 538 cannabis pesticide tests show what's in your weed

A Times analysis of products tested, along with other data, suggests more than half of cannabis smoking products contain chemicals not monitored by authorities.

This article went incredibly light too, there used to be way more damming ones but I’m 100% sure that the weed industry got them pulled.

The entire growing industry is corrupt. There is zero pesticide regulation or oversight. Probably soaking that shyt in Roundup

And you’re smoking that shyt directly into your lungs on a daily basis
