A recent study has shed light on the potential health risks associated with marijuana use, even among occasional users. The study, which analyzed data from 430,000 adults between 2016 and 2020, found that using marijuana in various forms - including smoking, vaping, and edibles - could increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, the study revealed that any level of marijuana use was linked to a higher likelihood of negative cardiovascular outcomes. Daily users were found to have a 25% increased risk of heart attack compared to non-users, while the odds of experiencing a stroke were 42% higher for daily marijuana users.
