Cannabis does NOT cause Heart attacks!
”San Diego, CA: A history of cannabis use within the past year is not associated with an increased risk of heart attack among middle-aged adults, according to data published in the American Journal of Cardiology.“ - excerpt from article
Many of us have read articles on "major" networks like CNN indicating (suggesting?) that cannabis use increases likelihood of heart conditions and attacks. When I read these articles my first thought is ”What variables are they controlling?“ *People who use cannabis* covers a broad spectrum and there may be other factors involved leading them to a false conclusion. Other habits and conditions for example, and some of which may align with why people choose to use cannabis. The reasons could be medical, psychological, social, personal etc.
Apparently I'm not the only one who thought this as a Study in California seemed to vet this out for us. By comparing other risk factors they concluded that there is no direct correlation between cannabis use and poor heart condition. Original article and links to study from our friends at NORML are below. Good news for us Weed Warriors.
