Cannabis consumers nearly twice as likely to suffer from a heart attack

> Researchers analyzed health data from over 33,000 adults ages 18 to 44 included in US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention surveys in 2017 and 2018.
Weed is still illegal in several US states, even more during the years listed, so I don’t see any way they could control for people NOT reporting use - equivalent to confession of a felony offense in some cases - within the data set.
Also it mentions usage “within the last month”. How much usage? If somebody smokes 5 joints a day, hell yeah they’re going to have health problems, but once a month? That’s radically different.
Always be skeptical whenever a “study” is reported by “the news”.
