Message Subject Cannabis use can double Stroke Risk in Young People, study shows
Poster Handle Anonymous Coward
Post Content
Young people who use marijuana frequently are more than twice as likely to have a stroke compared to those who don't use the drug at all, according to a new study.

The findings, which will be presented next week at the annual American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions meeting in Philadelphia, add to a growing body of research linking marijuana use to an increased risk of cardiovascular problems. The new study, which will also be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Stroke, is one of the first to specifically focus on the risk of stroke in young cannabis users (under age 45).

The researchers analyzed results from a national survey, called the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, which had published data on marijuana use and stroke incidence.

 Quoting: Cannabis Kills People!


They took data from a survey.

They said x number of people who had a stroke also happened to use cannabis at one point in their life.

Therefore: science.

No.

What about diet?

What about lifestyle?

What about family history?

This is the laziest "study" i've ever seen.

At this point they are just looking for people who have x disease and asking if they used cannabis at any time in their life.

Then they get x number of people who fall in both categories and voila, science.

Well anyone with half a brain can pick this apart fairly easily and see how this is all agenda driven.
