Cannabis Use Associated With Reduced Mortality in Heart Attack Patients (norml.org)

A team of researchers from the United States and the United Kingdom assessed health outcomes in a cohort of nearly 10 million patients hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

They reported, “Cannabis use was associated with lower risks of cardiogenic shock, acute ischemic stroke, cardiac arrest, PCI [percutaneous coronary intervention] use, and in-hospital mortality.”

The conclusion is consistent with those of other studies finding that heart disease victims with a history of cannabis consumption possess greater in-hospital survival rates compared to controls. Other studies have similarly reported increased in-hospital survival rates among cannabis consumers suffering from cancer, COPD, gastroparesis, pancreatitis, HIV, burn-related injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and various other types of severe trauma.

Weed's been de facto legal in my neck of the woods for 40 years, and fully legal since 2018, and at 67 years of age I can unreservedly say I've consumed more weed in the past 15 years than I did between ages 13 to 30.

Just saying that without a cite, we're both anecdotal.
