Yeah, that’s a bit of a red flag. A better study would of course open up the data, so validation would be easier.

There is no guarantee that it is specifically THC causing these effects, it could very well be CBG (cannabigerol) or just the inhalation of smoke itself: inhaled particular matter from combustion has been shown to cause cardiovascular issues, among other things.

Some of us are smoking for the past 20, 30, 40 years without cardiovascular issues tho. And I have met many old guys and ladies smoking weed in their 60, 70s doing fine if not better than their peers.

#9People have really been lied to re: the risks of smoking pot. Especially the potency and dosage so many more people are using.
