Marijuana Use Elevates Risk of Heart Attacks and Strokes by 60%

VIDEO – THE ULTIMATE BOTTOM –

Sept. 28, 2023 – New research from the University of Calgary shows that people addicted to marijuana are more likely to suffer heart attacks, strokes or other cardiovascular episodes compared to those without cannabis use disorder. 

The study, published Wednesday in Addiction, a peer-reviewed scientific journal, found that adults who misuse cannabis have a 60% higher risk of experiencing their first heart attack, stroke, or other major cardiovascular event.

“Our study doesn’t provide enough information to say that cannabis use disorder causes adverse cardiovascular disease events, but we can go so far as to say that Canadians with cannabis use disorder appear to have a much higher risk of cardiovascular disease than people without the disorder,” lead author Dr. Anees Bahji said in a statement.

Researchers analyzed data over an eight-year period from nearly 60,000 Canadians — half had a cannabis use disorder diagnosis and half didn’t.
