Why young cannabis users may be more at risk for heart attacks

A study released this week in the Canadian Medical Association Journal shows young users of cannabis are more at risk for heart attacks.

The study is based on surveys done in the U.S. with people 18 to 45 years old.

Authors of the study say people who consume cannabis in higher amounts are more at risk. Cannabis use has increased with young adults, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic according to experts.

    New Studies Show Marijuana is Effective At Treating COVID-19 Symptoms..So natually Big Pharma and the Media are going to spread ridiculous properganda going against it

    yes take the vax instead, it’s much safer for your heart, what a circus and the clowns are the msm

    I read the study, it is flawed. The individuals that were studied also consummed other drugs like alcohol and tabaco, therefore it cannot be directly attributed to cannabis use. To perform a proper study the individuals should not consume other drugs. As it stands today there are no deaths that have been recorded due to direct overdose of this drug, compared to other popular drug like alcohol which kills 80 000 people per year in the US.

    Vote PPC so the prince of pot can make Canadian cannabis number 1 in the world again.

    I didn’t know potheads could get offended. Thanks YouTube. 🍿



  9. AKGG on February 7, 2022 at 10:26 pm

    Trying to make an early start on why the places with highest vaccinated percentage of Americans also happen to generally have relaxed laws on pot, are getting heart problems? Can’t be from the vax though, right?

    This is to cover for all the coming heart attacks and clots from the vaccine.

  17. Unapologetic Great Grandma on February 7, 2022 at 10:36 pm

    The vax affects your heart more than canabis. Smoke screen so we don’t blame the surge in heart problems since the vax came out. That’s where the increase cane from



  18. jim koss on February 7, 2022 at 10:36 pm

    Oh brother. We all know it’s the alcohol industry spreading this non sense We won, the alcohol industry is dying,, sorry boomers. May you barf in peace. . lol,lol



  19. Bill K on February 7, 2022 at 10:37 pm

    If your risk was 1% before it might be 2% now.I hate when they play the multiples game.



  20. Danny P on February 7, 2022 at 10:38 pm

    It’s true I quit pot last year august and I’m scared of heart attacks



  21. BMWO Canada on February 7, 2022 at 10:43 pm

    By the way, all people in the video are all fully grown adults. Cannabis isn’t to blame for that. If they have a heart problem, genetics can be the most probable reason. This will look more realistic if they hire a teen to act at least.



  22. Jack Here on February 7, 2022 at 10:43 pm

    A whole bunch of new studies need to be done on marijuana. The stuff smoked nowdays is not the same plant they were studying in the 90s or earlier. There’s practically no CBD in the plant and the THC is at least 4 times stronger. It’s all GMO nowdays. I been smoking daily for 15 years now. I was that guy who was quick to defend marijuana. Anyone speaking anything negative about marijuana, it was like disrespecting my religion lol



  23. Yolanda Ligon on February 7, 2022 at 10:43 pm

    lol been smoking weed since i was 16 and now 33 and never had any heart issue what so ever and im a super heavy consumer and there are people i know that dont smoke weed as much as they drink or smoke cigs but still have high blood pressure. never in my life have i ever heard heart problems being linked to cannabis and they didnt really test people that only consume cannabis like myself. now all of a sudden reefer madness resurges lol. funny times we live in



  24. Steve Zabary on February 7, 2022 at 10:44 pm

    Guaranteed the risks of fast food, alcohol and sugar are far more significant. I have no doubt that cannabis has negatives, but compared to everything else we habitually use… I am really not concerned. Id be willing to bet the heat attack risk increase for cannabis is more due to lifestyle than the compounds of the smoke(or vape). Or pre existing, possibly unknown, conditions.



  25. Shinozaki on February 7, 2022 at 10:45 pm

    Global, you really need to do better journalism. The people you talk too have 0 clue what they’re talking about.

    We all gonna die anyway

  29. Scott Anderson on February 7, 2022 at 10:47 pm

  30. Jefferson Price on February 7, 2022 at 10:50 pm

    I think pfizer and moderna are more prone to heart attacks



  31. I'm not your buddy, guy! on February 7, 2022 at 10:51 pm

    Anyone paying attention…

    Media talking about increases in miscarriages.. heart attacks…

    Odd, why now? What did a large amount of people suddenly do?

  36. WarriorGirl113 on February 7, 2022 at 10:59 pm

    Ridiculousness!!! @Global News & @Canadian Medical Association – it is mentioned in the 1st Edition of the Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth (B.I.B.L.E.) at least a half dozen times… it is the cure all for all ailments, dis-ease, etc… stop trying to control the masse’s like the organized religion’s in the World! Look at what they did to the innocent little one’s in your Country alone! Shame.. Shame.. Shame …on you all!!!
    Are you sure it’s not obesity from eating food containing harmful chemical’s, junk food, microwaveable food, and the like?!? Or is that just an American problem. <rolling my eyes>



  37. Kyle on February 7, 2022 at 11:00 pm

    Yawn next



  38. Stephen Daniel on February 7, 2022 at 11:02 pm

    They act like people just started using the substance. It has been used for thousands of years but more importantly the last 60 years. Show me the bodies. Where are all the dead people at. There should be more people dying from this substance than are dying from the corona virus the way they explain it. Propaganda piece.



  39. camfukinrules on February 7, 2022 at 11:02 pm

    THE HEART ATTACKS ARE FROM COVID JABS…. AND EVERYFUCKING BODY KNOWS THIS



  40. Jin Sakai on February 7, 2022 at 11:04 pm

    Anything overdosed can cause heart problems…eating lots of fast food for example



  41. Melted Fro on February 7, 2022 at 11:05 pm

    they rarely ever talk about alcohol because a majority of the people that work at global news are alcoholics and so are most politicians, they wouldnt bite there own tail



  42. Patricia Mcleod on February 7, 2022 at 11:06 pm

    Pot❀️



  43. J on February 7, 2022 at 11:08 pm

    It’s the fact that they tend to eat crap food after getting high. Study what the heart attack victims have in their diet after they smoke.



  44. Buckley β›„ β˜ƒοΈ on February 7, 2022 at 11:09 pm

    Been smoking pot since for 20 years. All my meth friends are dead or on deaths door.



  45. DeadNorth 86 on February 7, 2022 at 11:09 pm

    What about vaccination…πŸ€”



  46. Chris Joseph on February 7, 2022 at 11:10 pm

    Long term studies for heart health risks before you legalize something for public use…hmmm… yes I agree!



  47. Alex C on February 7, 2022 at 11:13 pm

    So who’s at more risk at heart issues, a teenage boy who takes a puff of cannabis or a teenage boy that had a prototype vaccine forced on him for something he has a remarkably good chance of fighting off?



  48. rticle15 on February 7, 2022 at 11:14 pm

    I’d take this study with a grain of salt. When you break down the numbers, out of 33,000 people, 73 mj users had a heart attack after the study, while 219 non users suffered one. Only 17% of the participants used mj while 83% did not. The study indicated a 1/2% increase in likelihood of infarction in mj users, which is small and possibly statistically insignificant. I also dont see the method and balance between users and non to be very scientific. They claim that method of delivery doesnt matter but they dont differentiate methods in the study. Not saying mj cant be harmful but studies that appear set in proving that it is, arent using scientific method.



  49. weldmin on February 7, 2022 at 11:15 pm

    So what you’re saying is, you want more money?



  50. DanD on February 7, 2022 at 11:16 pm

    Yes! Drink coke with tons of sugar, eat burgers like no tomorrow, just watch ingredients that they stuck inside our food , drink alcohol and smoke tobacco! Is this not concerning you, our scientists that care about our health??!! Smh
