Regular cannabis use linked to increased risk of heart and vascular diseases

Regular cannabis use is associated with a risk of heart and vascular diseases. The main active compound in marijuana has hemodynamic effects, including tachycardia, vasodilation, and fluctuations in blood pressure, which can harm the body. Through a new study involving 434,104 respondents, scientists have found a connection between daily cannabis use and ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, and stroke, with the risk being proportional to the frequency of use.
