  • One 2024 study suggested that weekly use was associated with 3 percent higher odds of a heart attack and 5 percent higher odds of a stroke, compared to people who didn’t use marijuana. But daily use was associated with 25 percent higher likelihood of a heart attack and 42 percent higher likelihood of stroke. There isn’t good data on the risk with less frequent use.

    How about amounts of marijuana?

    While these risks seem most likely to occur with long-term exposure, there can also be short-term harms, said Ziva Cooper, the director of the Center for Cannabis and Cannabinoids at the University of California, Los Angeles. One 2001 study suggested that heart attack risk is highest in the hour after smoking marijuana.

    How high (if you will)?

    Also can this be mitigated if the person took acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) (i.e. Aspirin), even 80 mg, say, 15 to 45 min before toking?
