Marijuana & Stroke
    #17755634 -

Marijuana and stroke related

Here is a little section from the study report:

“I look after people with strokes,” Barber told FoxNews.com, “and we had a patient come in with stroke; they were young, but they didn’t have high blood pressure or high cholesterol, and they were reasonably fit and well.  They were clean from a risk factor point of view, but they had a stroke while smoking marijuana.  So we looked at the literature and saw sporadic stroke reports among marijuana users.”
Conducting the first case-controlled study of its kind, Barber and his colleagues studied 160 ischemic stroke/TIA patients between the ages of 18 to 55 (an average age of 45), who had their urine samples screened when they entered the hospital.  As a comparison, the researchers examined urine samples of 160 control subjects who had been admitted to the hospital for other medical reasons.
Of the 160 stroke patients, 16 percent tested positive for marijuana use within the past couple of days, compared to only 8.1 percent of the control patients.  According to Barber, the stroke patients were very well matched to the controls, with no differences in age, mechanisms for stroke or other vascular risk factors.
While the study provides the strongest evidence ever of the link between cannabis use and stroke, the research does come with a catch.  Of the 16 percent of stroke patients who were marijuana users, almost all of them smoked tobacco regularly.





Am I missing something? This does not seem like a very good study. Just because someone has pot in their system doesn't mean that's the cause, and they smoked tobacco I mean come on.

Yes I watch a lot of movies.

Pick it, pack it, fire it up, come along and take a hit from the bong.

I've heard money doesn't buy happiness, well it sure pays the sadness debt!
