Those who use cannabis in its many forms are 34% more likely to develop the coronary artery disease that triggers heart attacks and sudden death. Stanford University investigators analyzed data regarding the health and habits of 175,000 Americans. The numbers showed that heart disease risk was proportional to the frequency and intensity of cannabis use.

The study was just presented to the World Congress of Cardiology, so complete details are not yet available. That said, the study is one of the largest to look at this relationship. What to do now? Just know that moderation in your smoking of weed and consumption of edibles is always the wisest policy. I’ll provide more information about this study as soon as it is available.
