A recent study published in JAMA Network Open delved into the association between heavy cannabis use and mortality, specifically focusing on cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among females. The research, utilising data from the UK Biobank and analysing a substantial cohort of individuals aged 40 to 69, revealed compelling insights into the risks posed by intensive cannabis consumption, particularly for women.

The study’s findings shed light on the sex-specific impact of heavy cannabis use on mortality, particularly underscoring the elevated risk of CVD mortality for women engaged in intensive cannabis consumption. These revelations underscore the importance of further research endeavours aimed at unravelling the intricate interplay between cannabis use and mortality, with a specific focus on understanding the unique vulnerabilities faced by female cannabis users.
