Regularly smoking weed or consuming edibles may raise the risk of suffering a heart attack, a study suggests.
The team from the University of California San Francisco who made the find warns it is 'more evidence cannabis use is not benign.'
It also comes amid an alarming rise in unexplained heart attacks in young Americans, which experts are still trying to unpack.

My understanding is that only 1 in 800 had a very adverse reaction. Which on an individual level is a small percentage. On a population level, that is catastrophic.
This article is harshing my mellow.
The test will be comparing rates between users and non users. If you want to tie this to vaccine you will have to do a different study.
Sure, because Thai stick, sin semilla and Toledo Window Box weren’t around in the ‘70s!
LOL
Agree 100%. I am simply sceptical about 20 somethings dying from smoking weed (no matter how strong it is now a days). Or because they are sedentary. (youth has many advantages). But I am not ruling it out. It’s just there have been books written about young people and athletes dying of heart attacks after the jabs.
Wise words from a guy who seems to know what he is talking about. You should be a life coach ; -)
1/800 is catastrophic if TRUE. How many Americans between ages toddlers through 30 received covid jabs?
WAG would be that amounts to aprox 1/3 of population, say 110 million.
1/80 would mean 1.4 million young Americans suffered heart issues? If true, media would be talking about it. Therefore that 1/80 number looks bogus to me.
You don’t say!?
Dope users don’t like to hear these things.
I expected it to be reading NYT, watching CNN and listening to NPR.
Nothing in there about The “H”
I’m good.
I think I’ll take a nap.😉😄
He was growing this drug in the filthiest, most contaminated site you could imagine. Trash everywhere. And I never saw any OK drug official there. Ever.
Yet he sold it for consumption and some fool bought it and ingested it. No telling what chemicals he was ingesting.
Oh thank goodness! When the headline mentioned dirty habit I feared it was the fact that I rarely wash my coffee cup. It's nicely seasoned like an old cast iron cooking pot.
Carry on you crazy diamonds!
I am not condoning pot use, but I will never trust a study from a University. Bill gates is still alive and destroying the world.
May be. You know as well as I do that the average age of death due to cv-19 is 82 years old. Not one person under, say 70, had any benefit from a jab tested for < 3 months.
“ We have been told cannabis today is much stronger than what was used back in the 60s and 70s so who knows but that could be a factor.”
Since they scheduled Vicodin, I have been smoking to relieve my symptoms from severe arthritis. I’m 65.
Younger people were less likely to get the vaccine because Covid did not affect them that much.
Agree the THC count is a lot higher and it isn’t causing a just a bigger buzz.
Look how many boys are dropping dead playing sports some men in football doing the same.
That’s some good s**t man and then the last thing you see is a sky view.
Crows and hawks stopping by for lunch.
Bob’s not here, man.
YADA YADA: more Bafflement!
