Recent scientific evidence indicates an increased cardiovascular risk associated with cannabis use, particularly among patients with serious heart conditions. Experts call for enhanced clinical screenings and education regarding these risks, especially as cannabis use has surged among 35-50-year-olds since 2008. The alarming trend parallels daily alcohol and cigarette use among adults. Authors Silver and Glantz emphasize the need for cannabis regulations to prioritize public health, advocating for warning labels and marketing restrictions to mitigate health risks effectively.
Before we were seeing a wisp of smoke that there was cardiovascular risk. That became a cloud of smoke. Now we're starting to see signs of a wildfire of a more serious problem, with pretty consistent evidence emerging.
Today regulation is focused on establishing the legal market with woeful neglect of minimizing health risks.
