Would love to know how the method of consumption affects this, since the study seems to be targeting smokers (i.e. combustion) the results seem to make sense.
It would be interesting if they included people who don't smoke (edibles) and people who use dry herb vapes (mostly convection).

My resting heart rate has been slowly increasing for a while and I'm experiencing more and more frequent heart palpitations. If they're related, I wouldn't be surprised if the effect was indirect. Part of me suspects it's just from a reduction in physical activity, which wouldn't be influenced much by the method of ingestion.

- crtified 3y agoNot that external data changes your anecdotal experience. But you should note that this study also contains the following claim: > 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) Which is only one point. But it does illustrate the potential complexity of the interaction, and that we are a long way from establishing a clear causal chain.
