Using marijuana every day can raise a person's risk of coronary artery disease, or CAD, by a third compared with those who never partake, a new study found. MORE ⬇️

"A growing body of evidence suggests that cannabis is not entirely without harm and may actually cause cardiovascular disease," said lead study author Dr. Ishan Paranjpe, a resident physician at Stanford University. The study — which has not yet been published -— will be presented Sunday at the annual meeting of the American College of Cardiology.

Signs of the condition include having angina, or chest pain, feeling weak, dizzy or sick to your stomach, or experiencing shortness of breath. However, for"some people, the first sign of CAD is a heart attack," the CDC says on its website.The study pulled data on people participating in the All of Us Research Program. Administered by the National Institutes of Health, the program is designed to gather health information over time from 1 million or more people in the United States.

The study used Mendelian randomization to determine risk, which other studies on the topic have not, Paranjpe said in an email. The MR method measures gene variations known to be related to a modifiable risk factor to determine the causal influence of the risk factor. Smoking or vaping any substance, including cannabis, should be avoided due to the risk of harm to the heart, lungs and blood vessels, the American Heart Association warned in 2020.

I rather smoke weed than get vaccinated lol

📢 CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION

So by legalizing marijuana the govt is killing people.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Eh, I’ll just not get vaccinated and I should be able to smoke weed into my 90s lol.

….. probably a side effect from the munchies not the marijuana. Stop spreading lies

Fear peddling at its finest. Worrying about useless stuff is bad for your heart. Facts.

And what do other prescribed medications cause……..100xMore

When you come down to it, there is a study that says anything you can think of is bad for you. Best way to make money: invent something bad for you then tell us how you're going to fix it. We are alive and we all die therefore life is bad for you.

No kidding!!

Same people said Covid vaccine was safe too. Propaganda.

Said the scientist tied to the university with a big pharma contract. The paper has not been published or peer-reviewed.

Ok…if this is some kind of public service announcement, I’m thinking a post promoting a healthier diet would be more beneficial 🤷‍♂️

I bet it’s more about snacking unhealthy munchies

Such blasphemy against the Church of weed!!

Take this shit down. Americans in general are predisposed to heart disease based on our diets.

BULLSHIT!!!!!

See, the problem here is that everyone has been telling us BS science about marijuana for soo long that people are as likely to believe this article as they're likely to believe that smoking marijuana will summon a demon

Another useless study…. Worry about the food you eat and alcohol

Hahahaha does someone want to tell them what the average stoners life style is like 🤣😂

No1cares

What about myocarditis from your death jab you push, endlessly? Or, are you gonna blame cannabis for that. 🤣😂🤣😂 🤡’s

Thank you God for this beautiful gift we call cannabis. I'm a medical patient and cannabis is the most amazing medicine and it's so versatile.

Bull shit

Vaccines made by evil billionaires is good for you but MJ plants are dangerous. Why are all far leftist news outlets pharmacy shills?

Anything that is consumed or inhaled not in moderation will cause problems long term.

What do the studies show about big pharma drugs?

LIES

I will gladly take a chance with a side effects of my edibles than the side effects of prescription drugs. Do you ever listen to their commercials? We can clear up your toenail fungus but side effects include lower immune system & possible death. Nah I'll just stick to my gummies

booooooo

K. Ain't gonna stop us.

Resurrect the 90 year drug war - imprison those who like to smoke weed !!!

I mean, most prescription medications have an increased risk of seizures, strokes, death...

Weed leads to munchies, leads to CAD. Got it.

It's worth it.

ROFLMAO! Bullshit study by those with an opinion.

Now do opioids...

But the clot shot was OK w you guys right?

michael douglas claimed he got cancer from eating his wife out... these are risks we bout to keep taking

Gasp! What used to be called the “GATEWAY DRUG” turned into medicine, and is now “recreational”. Interview some tweekers and most of them will tell you they started on marijuana.

Well don’t smoke it and you don’t have to worry about it more for me

Especially in those vaxed, double jabbed and boosted. Stop the BULLSHIT

Ask Snoop?!?!?

Maybe... and I'm just spitballing here... maybe it's the Jab.

Bummer

Well, shoot. I used to smoke every day for 20+ years

Drinking too much alcohol isn't necessarily good for one's heart either.

Don’t do drugs! Also the smell is disgusting

This study was paid by a pharmaceutical company you can already tell

New study shows living life is bad for your health.

More bullshit propaganda, do better

Oh yeah, the LONG TERM risks are going to he through the roof! Marijuana is not a health product!

Why are you leaving out a main thing that it also causes mental disorders

Study is useless due to this sentence y’all buried at the very end: “Notably, the new study was not able to tease out whether different types of cannabis use — such as consuming edibles versus smoking weed, for example — made a difference in a person's risk of developing CAD.”

What you fail to mention in tweet is that edibles have no data to support this claim.

Or maybe it’s caused by overeating unhealthy processed snacks when the munchies hit 😜🤷🏻‍♀️

Turns out the jabs you encouraged everyone to get aren't so great for the heart either. Show us the studies on increased deaths and injuries caused by the 'miracle jab' your sponsors poisoned people with. We'll wait.

It can also reduce your risk for banging your neighbors wife, abandoning your kids, getting in a fist fight, and being hungover half of your life.
