He says it is clear that "inhaled fine particles have adverse health effects."...
The study also shows that frequent marijuana use was certainly not a requirement to be at risk of having a heart attack. Of the marijuana users, 32 used it a few times a month and 40 used marijuana less than once a month, Mittleman says.
The Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), a Washington-based group that lobbies for laws to decriminalize marijuana use and supports the use of medical marijuana, immediately issued a press release warning that the study could be misinterpreted. MPP spokesperson Chuck Thomas tells WebMD, "Our concern is that some legislator is going to say that marijuana causes heart attacks. That's not what this study says."... Thomas says the risk of adverse events with marijuana use is "comparable to [the] risk associated with legal drugs."
...That report concluded that there was no significant risk of heart disease due to marijuana in young marijuana users but urged a study of its effect in older populations...
