Daily cannabis use is linked to a higher risk of severe heart disease, similar to the risks faced by frequent cigarette smokers. Studies suggest that cannabis overuse is linked to heart failure, strokes, and heart attacks, with adults with cannabis use disorder being 60% more likely to experience these conditions compared to non-users. The findings highlight the need for preventive action through increased testing and screening for cardiovascular disease in at-risk groups.
