Abstract in brief

  • Marijuana use is rising as more states legalize cannabis, with about 2 million Americans with heart conditions using it in various forms like inhalation and vaping.
  • Cannabinoid receptors are found in many tissues, including blood platelets, fat tissue, and heart muscle cells, and observational studies link marijuana to increased risks of cardiovascular problems.
  • Due to its increasing potency and similar hazards to tobacco smoking, along with regulatory restrictions, more research is needed, and healthcare providers are encouraged to screen for marijuana use in patients with heart disease.]

Despite tobacco cancer reductions from higher age limits, observational data suggest marijuana use carries many of the same cardiovascular health hazards as tobacco. Synthetic cannabinoids are linked to more sustained and damaging pharmacodynamic effects. https://t.co/A42vDEvaWH

@EmpriDomini @JasonKimbleyW @ExtractedVideo @TrizyP @Cernovich Yea, that study is hilariously vague. Lots of could's. Their reason for looking? 2M with heart disease have used or are using weed. Next you'll tell me they all traveled in cars at one point. Or drank water or drove a car. These "studies" are clickbait. https://t.co/Sgg29PEEYw

@Sarafina7707 @JohnFetterman Big Tobacco denied negative health effects of their products for years.....and now they are partners in promoting weed smoking."Most people smoke marijuana, which has the same effects on the heart as smoking cigarettes, research suggests" https://t.co/Ct6xcTiuqm

@spectreabyss @_ssjtony @GoodPoliticGuy still warrants further study but is also almost certainly being used as a scaremongering tactic in this case. here’s the study if you’re interested https://t.co/K2KgijmWzU
