One thing that's nice about the changes in perception and tolerance of cannabis use is that now we can actually get some real studies on the thing. It was in the dark for so long there isn't really a lot of science about effectiveness for ThingA or ThingB and/or what the sode-effects are (eg: hyperemesis, etc)

Though in this case I wouldn't expect to need a study to guess a link exists. But only now can we even hint at what should be obvious.

  Smoking weed increases your risk of heart attack and stroke. That was obvious this whole time?

    Smoking anything increases your risk.

    Correlation != causation. Especially when the study doesn't show a simple correlation like that either. At least not for heart attacks. > The multivariate survey‐adjusted logistic regression analysis of the entire sample did not reach a significant association between daily cannabis use and CHD (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.16 [95% CI, 0.98–1.38]; P=0.09) But there does seem to be one for strokes > Among those who had never used tobacco cigarettes and had never used e‐cigarettes, cannabis use was not associated with CHD or MI but was associated with stroke (aOR, 2.24 [95% CI, 1.31–3.83]) versus tobacco‐adjusted odds in the whole sample (aOR, 1.42 [95% CI, 1.20–1.68]) Study https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.123.030178 https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.123.030178

    It seems reasonable that deep inhalation of any burnt substance should increase risk. The burnig of fields in South Asia, for example: "Air pollution and cardiovascular health in South Asia: A comprehensive review" https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cpcardiol.2023.102199 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cpcardiol.2023.102199

    I think studies show the effect with cake and edibles too

      That is something that while not surprising at least should need some study before you state it as a fact.
