Some scientists believe smoking marijuana can cause some of the same cardiovascular health problems that are caused by smoking cigarettes, according to observational studies

The paper, published in Monday's Journal of the American College of Cardiology, is a review of previously published studies.Weed impairs driving skills long after the high is goneObservational studies used in this review suggest there is an association between marijuana use and a range of heart problems. There are few gold-standard style studies, known as randomized control trials, that look at this connection.

Watson said she would support a study looking at heart attack rates five years before legalization and five years after in a state like Colorado, where recreational marijuana use has been legal since 2012, to see if the rates went up.Unfortunately, she said, there just isn't enough research to know for sure,"but I do think it's never a good idea to suck something deep into your lungs, other than air.

I think ThatKevinSmith would disagree with this

in other words, we just made this shit up in hopes some morons believe it

People with heart problems should also avoid : soda, alcohol, red meat, roller coasters, stress, sex, cookies, cake, chips, shoveling snow, snd so on and so on...😒

Keep smoking it y’all. We need to weed out the morons.

A new paper? What new paper? You’re high af

If you weren't high you'd know Drugs are bad for you. Just say NO to Drugs. Be Somebody. 🇺🇸

LMAO

This article is insane! Completely factless, oh wait maybe this sentence ...”cocaine, a large meal, and smoking marijuana MAY lead to a heart attack”.....ummmm ok skippy, you could have stopped at COCAINE. Shameful

I'll chance it.

Reefer madness paranoia strikes again and that pic is CLEARLY a vape cartridge.

CNN on a rampage against weed lately

Wtf? Very weak

That’s not even marijuana lol

Now I suppose they will want free healthcare to take care of their self inflicted heart & lung issues. OANN FoxNews seanhannity TuckerCarlson Liz_Wheeler JohnStossel LouDobbs greggutfeld charliekirk11 MAGA

it probably saved ThatKevinSmith's life when he had a massive heart attack though

What? What paper is that, 'Conservatives 'Я Us?' The use of Marijuana and effects of it on the cardiovascular system has not been extensively studied enough to come to the conclusion that it causes heart problems.

Bullshit

I can't ingest it. It makes me super-paranoid.

Quiet, you.

So your story was actually based on no real conclusive evidence. Wow.

Brilliant to make it legal and acceptable. No wonder we are in a decline.

I been vaping and my heart has been hurting I didn't put 2 and 2 together

Paper? What about all the years of studies that prove the medical benefits? Or how about the laundry list of bad side effects of pharmaceuticals Big pharma is getting scared

What a shame. Cbn is really lobbying this anti marijuana nonsense

CNN with 2 anti-marijuana pieces back to back! What's the agenda

.....nice pic of some chick in Boulder CO. Hahahahaha

Oh please, coffee and Redbull too!!

Still waiting for CNN to post about the aid that was found rotting in warehouses in Puerto Rico but since CNN won’t post it I’ll tell you that it has been found and President Trump did send it and Democrats are trying to censor it so that you don’t see it. Time to vote Dem out

Observational studies are garbage.

Wow and all this time I thought marijuana smoke was healthy unlike cigarettes 😂😂

CNN has been on an anti pot streak lately. Follow the money folks.

Shut up nerds

Duh.

Will see more of this problem in a near future. Laxing chemical will eventually weaken the muscle leading to a sudden cardiovascular arrest. High altitude dwellers like these kinds of relexing inhalation to slow down the heartbeat to meet the low oxi env.

Obvious lol why would it be any different? Smoking tea bags would probably lead to heart disease. You aren't supposed to inhale smoke period!

Lmfao

Relax, scientists.

My doc said there same thing and suggested I switch to a dry herb vaporizer for flower and to eat edibles preferably

Isn’t it only true when all scientists believe the same thing?

Da Einstein

Problem with America is all these stupid studies which make scientist look bad buy getting paid to create stupid studies. Yet they wont put out the fact that alcohol and cigarettes has killed more than marijuana.

I never thought it was smart to suck in the smoke from a campfire. Any smoke seems harmful but more studies need to be done to determine pots place in medicine.

Is that not because we add a bit of cigarette as mix?

Some scientists believe in god also.

Was this originally published in the 25yrs ago?

The problem is, there are a lot of potoholics. For many it's an addiction.

People should know by now that edibles are the only safe way.

Who cares if I develop heart disease. At least I wont have cancer

Then why are cigarettes sold to the public?

But muh kbs bro
