Cannabis smoke contains many of the same substances researchers have found in tobacco smoke, which are harmful to the lungs and cardiovascular system.89It is hard to separate the effects of cannabis chemicals like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other cannabinoids on the cardiovascular system from those caused by the irritants and other chemicals present in the smoke. More research is needed to understand the full impact of cannabis use on the cardiovascular system to determine if cannabis use leads to higher risk of death.Related PagesView AllBack to Top* Health Effects* Cannabis and Pregnancy* Cannabis and Brain Health* Cannabis and Mental Health* Cannabis and Chronic PainView All Cannabis and Public HealthCannabis and Mental HealthFebruary 15, 2024Sources Print ShareFacebook LinkedIn Twitter SyndicateContent Source:National Center for Injury Prevention and ControlReferences1.
