Marijuana abusers are at increased risk for stroke. Preliminary evidence from cerebrovascular perfusion dataR I Herning
Molecular Neuropsychiatry Section, National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Institutes of Health, Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Ann N Y Acad Sci 939:413-5. 2001..These findings suggest that cerebral perfusion observed in 18-30 year old marijuana abusers is comparable to that of normal 60 year-olds. Thus, chronic abuse of marijuana might be a risk factor for stroke...
