Original Message Smoking cannabis nearly doubles the risk of a heart attack in adults under the age of 45, study suggests

Smoking cannabis nearly doubles the risk of young adults suffering a heart attack, a study has suggested.

Canadian researchers looked at the history of heart attacks in more than 33,000 adults aged 18 to 44.

Nearly one in five of these young adults reported using cannabis - and this group were twice as likely to have suffered a heart attack.

Overall 1.3 per cent of cannabis users had experienced a heart attack, compared to 0.8 per cent of non-users.

Heart attacks were most common in those who took cannabis at least once a week, and the risk was the same regardless of if it was consumed through smoking, e-cigarettes or edibles.
