Is it me or is Tony highly in denial about the facts? Seems to me that marijuana users are the most defensive about this topic, like most addicts are when they feel attacked.

[@nonuser1532]

Weed is not addictive, and this is just cover for the new"vaccines", which do cause heart attacts and strokes.

[@BlakeElliott35]

Maybe, just maybe, we should focus on improving the way we live and interact with each other so that drug use no longer feels as necessary for so many?

[@nonuser1532]

Nah, just don't take the "vaccine".

we need that desperately, no one wants to interact anymore.

the National Cancer Institute and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute are listed as the studies funding sources (both of which are public institutions). But unlike what is reported in this news clip, the study doesn't seem to differentiate between people who smoke and people who use a vaporizer and/or edibles. It just classified people as "cannabis users", while noting that the majority of cannabis users smoke.

[@catalinacurio]

Did they take into account the related overdose of junk food?

[@nonuser1532]

I also want to know their "vaccination" status.

[@Chad_Max]

@@nonuser1532 Vaccination side effects are seen in weeks not years later; the data on vaccinations backs this up. Have you ever considered that during the peak of covid infections that hospitals were being flooded with patients and as part of admittance checkups, their biomarkers and health factors were being screened? That this would uncover previously undiagnosed cancers, heart disease, etc. caused by factors unrelated to covid vaccination and spike the numbers on chronic health condition data around the time the vaccines were being administered en masse?

[@samamsterdam4301]

Actually there's some new studies coming out that show Cannabis (especially high concentrated vaping) angers the blood platelets and causes blood clots in some people. It happened to me right around the time I started vaping thinking it was convenient and didn't smell. My blood PTT tests were super high and then when I stopped they went back to normal and the clots began to clear up. My legs were hurting and I had to wear compression socks. I'm actually the one that made the connection before the doctors by reading Medical Journals of studies that are currently going on. Started vaping Cannabis.....got blood clots and a high PTT....stopped vaping Cannabis....blood clots went away and PTT returned to normal range. This only happens in some people and many use it safely but it's way underdiagnosed as they are starting to realize. It happened to me. Too bad too. Oh well.

i couldn't find anything in the study that took into consideration methods of consumption. it just classified people by how much cannabis they use. not by how they use it. it did note that the majority of cannabis users smoked cannabis. I want to know what risks I have as someone who uses a dry herb vaporizer (not a cartridge with additives) and has never smoked anything

A new study published in Current Alzheimer Research, scientists have found that non-medical cannabis use is linked to a lower likelihood of experiencing subjective cognitive decline, a condition characterized by self-reported memory loss or confusion. This intriguing discovery sheds light on the complex relationship between cannabis use and cognitive health, particularly among middle-aged and older adults in the United States.

here we go with a other lie about weed. I been smoking for 23 years and never had a stroke or a heart attack

[@forever_evolving_5312]

I’m not surprised? I used to smoke marijuana and I quit. It was normal in high school. You could smoke weed and have a normal high. But in my twenties, it’s like it got stronger. There were a few times my heart was racing so fast I thought I would pass out. That was new and never happened when I was in high school. Smoking weed should not feel like doing hard drugs. I overdosed once on prescriptions so I know what deathly high feels like. Weed shouldn’t make you feel that way, but stronger strains can.

[@Liam1694u]

Well, no sh!t. I'm sure, most people know that there are risks associated with any substance. But what risks exist are minuscule compared to other products that are currently available to the public legally. Caffeine carries more risks than marijuana.

The strokes and heart attacks are more likely linked to the "munchies" and the crap people eat while high. However, weed does make you unmotivated which is the worst side effect of all. The last thing we need is more people asking for gov. handouts b/c they don't wanna work...
