Funny how both studies focus on smoking though, it's almost as if inhaling smoke isn't healthy 🤯.
My biggest complaint with most cannabis research is the failure to subgroup results by delivery mechanism.
Do people that don't smoke at all but use oral cannabis have higher heart complication risks, and if so how much are they elevated compared to the norm and compared to the subgroups that smoke?
But no, it's usually just catchy headlines about "cannabis correlated with X" when I get the feeling many times it's really "smoking things correlated with X."
Study probably paid for by alcohol and police lobbies. Always villainise.
"Don't attribute to malice what you can attribute to incompetence."
Except when it's a study that completely ignores very obvious alternative causes for its outcome. In that case, it's reasonable to suspect malice.
I'm wondering about vaping and CBD/hemp too: I use a dry herb vape with hemp to quit smoking cigarettes. Works great but now I'm a little worried. My resting heart rate is 50 bpm and I get a decent amount of physical activity so hopefully I'm OK.
I heard vaping gives you wet popcorn lung and kills you faster than smoke.

Also, drink alcohol it’s way better for you than marijyana
If you're vaping BHO extracted products/products with added terpenes, then you are doing damage to your lungs. Dry herb vaping and live rosin excluded.
You have to be so careful with the extraction methods and diluent agents when it comes to vaping concentrates (that includes regulated vape carts--not just black market carts).
The terpenes used in vape carts to dilute and reintroduce flavor and aroma (which is lost in some extraction methods, like BHO) also produces harmful byproducts when vaped. [2]
Another problem with cheap vape pens and e-cigs is the cheap atomizers/coils used. There have been confirmed cases of these coils/atomizers leeching heavy metals into the vapor produced.[3]
It's always important to consider the risk-mitigation approach, but a lot of people don't comprehend that not all vaping concentrates/methods are equal, and some should absolutely be avoided.
THC does cause heart distress, regardless of consumption method.
CBD should be fine.
Either are better than nicotine anyway.
But it didn't and even says so.. I'd take this with a grain of salt. It's not very scientific IMO.
