A new study in the journal *Heart*, analyzing data from over 432 million people, reveals a significant link between cannabis use and increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, and death from heart disease. The risk is particularly high for regular users and young adults. While cannabis has proven medical benefits, the study emphasizes the increased potency of modern cannabis products and calls for warnings similar to those for tobacco, highlighting the need for doctors to inquire about cannabis use, especially in patients with heart conditions.
