There has been a lot of fuss about cannabis and your heart. Well, while reading the latest studies on cannabis, I came across this little gem in a study on drugs and heart disease. I've divided the text into smaller chunks for easier reading. Link leads to the full study, but here's the interesting part- Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and Cerebrovascular Disease (CeVD): Analysis of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) Database Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and Cerebrovascular Disease (CeVD): Analysis of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) Database The increased legalization of marijuana and its rising prevalence has led to increased concern regarding its long-term effects on the cardiovascular system (World Drug Report 2019, United Nations) [12]. Our study revealed that while there was a statistically significant increase in both the incidence and prevalence of ischemic heart disease and MI in hospitalized patients with cannabis use, no significant association was noted when adjusted for potential confounders. Our results are consistent with data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) by Jivanji et al. (2020) [13] that also failed to reveal an association between cardiovascular disease and cannabis use. Furthermore, longitudinal studies investigating marijuana use and the development of cardiovascular disease in 18-30-year-olds also showed no change in the risk of developing cardiovascular disease later in life[14].

HI @Storm Crow ....i had a quad heart bypass 23 years ago i gave up smoking Baccy but not cannabis ,cannabis has not hurt my heart at all ,i do have high blood pressure i take meds for that ,,but apart from my arthritis i aint to bad in heath...,,,mac.
I’d think a common couch, a refrigerator, and/or a pantry are far more damaging to a user’s heart than marijuana… Used to have a history Professor, he’d often say “Most people dig their graves with a spoon and a fork”…

Dr David Allen, a retired heart surgeon claims that THC protects your heart up to thirty days after initial ingestion . the heart protective effects of THC last thirty days after the fact !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the law only cares about THC-cooh aftr the fact ... we have a long long way to still go herer
Personally, I've been on a fresh fruit kick for about a year. Also veges.Ms DWW buys a load of fruit and a few veges and the sit in baskets at the end of the kitchen counter. I don't even seem to want meat any more. My favorite food is ensalada rusa. It's a Russian potato salad, and the national salad of Spain. My thanks, as always, to @Storm Crow.
Your findings on cannabis and cardiovascular health are really intriguing. It's such a hot topic, especially with the increasing legalization and use. It's fascinating how your study shows no significant link between cannabis use and cardiovascular disease when adjusted for other factors. That aligns with what I've read from other research too, like the BRFSS data. I think it's crucial to delve deeper into these findings, especially with medical cannabis pharmacy becoming more prevalent. Understanding the potential effects, both positive and negative, is key for informed decision-making.
