Daily Cannabis Use Raises Heart Disease Risk by 34%

Buzz

According to a recent study by Stanford University, the risk of coronary artery disease is 34% higher in daily cannabis users compared to non-users. Scientists are expected to present detailed findings at the cardiology conference in March.

The research team analyzed data on cannabis use frequency from over 175,000 individuals and compared it with the rate of heart diseases among them. They noted a clear link between the two, along with other risk factors such as smoking and alcohol consumption contributing to heart diseases. An interesting finding is that irregular cannabis use, such as using a few times a month, does not increase the risk of heart diseases as much as daily use.

Impact of Cannabis Use on Cardiovascular Health

Previous studies have suggested that cannabis users, especially young individuals, are at an increased risk of stroke and similar diseases. A study by the University of San Francisco in 2016 even found that passive cannabis smoking for just 1 minute has similar harmful effects as passive cigarette smoking. Moreover, the impact of cannabis on the cardiovascular system lasts three times longer than exposure to cigarettes.
