Additionally, users of the drug were at a four times greater risk of an ischemic stroke and two times greater risk of experiencing heart failure. The study reported that \u201ccannabis use appears to pose a substantial and independent risk for those outcomes, even in a population without traditional cardiovascular risk factors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamapsychiatry\/fullarticle\/2832297?resultClick=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>additional study<\/strong><\/a>, released in JAMA Psychiatry, scanned the brain of 61 individuals, 25 of whom had been diagnosed with cannabis use disorder. The study, which looked for darker regions in the brain which indicate incidents of dopamine levels rising too high, found a direct linkage between increased cannabis use and larger black spots on the brain. The author stated, \u201cin people partaking in excess cannabis use, those spots are blacker than what they should be for their age compared to healthy individuals\u2026in some cases [their brains] are showing pigments someone 10 years older would have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These black spots can be means for concern. Author Ali Kahn stated that they observed \u201can increase of blacker spots in a particular region of the midbrain associated with psychosis\u2026[It] was seen in those with cannabis use disorder
