Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Marijuana Use Doubles Heart Disease Risk, Large Study Finds
Caption: Marijuana Use Doubles Heart Disease Risk, Large Study Finds. A large new study has found that using marijuana doubles the risk of dying from heart disease. The analysis, which pooled data from 200 million people aged 19 to 59, also revealed a 29% higher risk of heart attacks and a 20% increased risk of strokes for cannabis users. Senior author Émilie Jouanjus, a pharmacology professor at the University of Toulouse, noted that many hospitalized patients were young and lacked common risk factors, such as smoking. This finding challenges the assumption that cannabis poses little risk to heart health. Dr. Lynn Silver, a pediatrician and epidemiologist at the University of California, emphasized the importance of screening for cannabis use in medical settings warning that its rising popularity demands more health education, similar to tobacco.
