2 Studies: Marijuana raises risk of heart attack, heart failure and stroke by up to a THIRD

[Weatherman2020]

Plus pot is a carcinogen.
There’s reasons users want to call it a drug but avoid the drug approval process.


Using marijuana regularly is ‘strongly’ linked to heart failure and stroke, two major studies suggest.

One paper that tracked 160,000 adults over 54 years old for four years found those who smoked marijuana daily had a 34 percent higher risk of heart failure.

And in a second, researchers found hospitalized people over 65 years old who had used marijuana — but not cigarettes — were 20 percent more likely to suffer a major heart event or stroke.

And besides all of that pot STINKS! And pot smokers STINK!

As we age, ignoring high blood pressure, a terrible diet, and lack of exercise contribute more. Of course chronic users can easily fall into all of those categories.

Yep, if you do not smoke it but get it otherwise many of these issues are not a problem.

I know a lot of people that use it for one reason or another and the only ones I know that smoke it are the ones that grow their own

 

[Blaster]

Yes marijuana is harmful but so is too much sugar or sodium.

 

[Votto]

Then do not use it.

Just quit being an asshole authoritarian that wants to control what everyone else does.

All the drugs people wanted to take for Covid the Left banned, even some of them that were used by doctors in Europe.

But now people just need to be informed about not taking things that will kill them?

Really?

Home grown is the best.

It shows it is not about health and all about control

What approval process did alcohol go through?

There's a reason people who prefer alcohol don't call it a drug.

I have smoked for forty-six years and it never stopped me from being in the top ten percentile in the military, on the dean's list at college, or from earning a living.
