Dr. Paul Grin answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Stroke risk: The research doesn't prove that smoking weed will cause a stroke. However, it provides the strongest evidence that smoking or cannabis use is closely associated with a doubling of stroke risk. Quit smoking for good with help from your PCP.
