A recent study by Boston University revealed that cannabis use in individuals under 50 years old correlates with a substantially increased risk of heart-related issues. Analyzing over 4.6 million healthcare records, researchers found that cannabis users experienced a sixfold increase in heart attack risk and quadruple the likelihood of having a stroke compared to non-users. The findings indicate a pressing need for healthcare providers to inquire about cannabis usage as part of risk assessments, similar to how they address smoking, in light of the growing evidence of associated health risks.
