A group of scientists from Georgia State University recently made a startling discovery. They found that using marijuana could increase the risk of dying from high blood pressure by three times.

This finding adds a new layer to our understanding of marijuana’s impact on health.

The study began by looking at adults aged 20 and older. Back in 2005-2006, these individuals were asked a simple question: had they ever used marijuana? Those who said “yes” were marked as marijuana users.

To figure out how long each person had been using marijuana, the researchers subtracted the age when they first tried it from their current age.

Then, they combined this information about marijuana use with death records up to 2011 from the National Centre for Health Statistics.
