Guelph [Canada], April 17 (ANI): According to a new study by the University of Guelph, smoking cannabis at a younger age may increase the risk of developing heart disease later in life.
The study, published recently in the Journal of Applied Physiology, looks at specific risk indicators for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in young, healthy cannabis users, researchers found subtle but potentially important changes in heart and artery function.
Cigarette smoking is known to affect cardiovascular health, causing changes to blood vessels and the heart. Less is known about the impact of smoking cannabis on long-term CVD risk, even as the use of the substance grows in Canada and abroad.

What is being called the first study to consider specific risk indicators for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in young, healthy cannabis users has found that consuming weed when young may increase the risk of later developing heart disease.
So suggests a new study, published in the
