Cannabis and Heart Health
Several years ago New Mexico jumped on the cannabis bandwagon as an "economic stimulus" for the state. Since that time it has grown into a billion dollar business.
The January 2025 issue of Tufts Health & Nutrition Letter suggests that, for health reasons, that may have been ill-advised.
While not singling out New Mexico, they report that nearly 17% of American adults currently use marijuana and that its "popularity is rising as its use become more socially acceptable, and increasingly legal."
This rising acceptance, availability, and usage has prompted more research into possible negative health effects of regular cannabis use.
A group of researchers analyzed responses from over 434,000 U.S. adults. Approximately 7% reported using cannabis with 4% reporting daily use. The researchers compared cannabis use to cases of heart disease, heart attack, or stroke.
"They found that cannabis use was associated with higher risk for these adverse cardiovascular outcomes and the more frequent the use, the stronger the association."
Tufts warns that use of cannabis recreationally (as opposed to medically) could be increasing the health risk for adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
We hope and trust that our neighbors get the message and think again about marijuana use. Health is more important than the New Mexico coffers.
