Who conducted this study?
Hilarious!
To quote.....
"The findings held true after taking into account unhealthy factors known to affect many cannabis smokers, such as obesity, alcohol misuse and smoking.
They indicate there is something intrinsic about cannabis which can damage the proper functioning of the human heart.
"Even when we corrected for known risk factors, we still found a higher rate of both stroke and heart failure in these patients, so that leads us to believe that there is something else going on besides just obesity or diet-related cardiovascular side effects,” said Dr Aditi Kalla, Cardiology Fellow at the Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia and the study's lead author.
"It's important for physicians to know these effects so we can better educate patients.
Previous research in cell cultures has shown that heart muscle cells have cannabis receptors relevant to contractility, or squeezing ability, suggesting that those receptors might be one mechanism through which marijuana use could affect the cardiovascular system.”
I "suggest" that these "studies" are very suspect especially when vested interests are trying hard to suppress the evidence that cannabis is an excellent medicine with no damaging side effects, when used correctly.
How many big pharma drugs are known to cause heart disease? Seriously!
Alcohol,smoking and obesity were not the only other risk factors......what about the other drugs that cannabis users take? Especially the prescribed ones......this study is a load of baloney.
The fox guarding the hen house again.
Only those with a predisposition to mental health issues will develop schizophrenia and would probably have done so on any kind of drug.
No one has ever died from an overdose of cannabis. How many prescription drugs can make that claim. Even paracetamol can be deadly if overdosed.
When will you guys wake up? It's a con that has been successfully blinding the public for decades, but the cat is out of the bag. What else have they been hiding I wonder?
