Many US states are following New York’s lead in legalizing marijuana. However, recently, an increasing number of New Yorkers are complaining of pain caused by the smell of marijuana.
Delaney, who lives in Cobble Hill, New York, said in an interview with the New York Post, an American newspaper: “Even though I live on the fourth floor, the smell of marijuana is so strong that it is difficult to wake up. “I relax or I’m going to bed. I don’t suffer from nausea or allergies. “”I often feel sexual itching, itchy eyes and neck pain,” she said. She is thinking of moving elsewhere because of the smell of marijuana.
“Cannabis smoke goes right into the kids’ bathroom,” said Claire, who lives in Brooklyn. “The kids said several times that it smelled like marijuana,” she said. Allison, who lives in a luxury rental building in Dumbo, also said: “A new neighbor moved in next door in May last year, and from that point on there started to be a strong smell of marijuana not only inside the house but also in various common areas such as corridors, elevators and lobbies.” “It’s so strong that there are days I wake up at 2 in the morning,” she said.
Marijuana isn’t just about an unpleasant odor. A study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that people who smoked marijuana daily had a higher risk of heart attack and stroke than those who didn’t smoke marijuana.
Researchers analyzed data from 434,104 American adults aged 18 to 74 from 2016 to 2020. About 4% used marijuana daily, 7% used five days a month, and 88.9% did not use at all. marijuana.
The study found that people who inhaled cannabis daily were 25% more likely to have a heart attack and 42% more likely to have a stroke than those who had never used cannabis. People who used cannabis sporadically had a 3% higher risk of heart attack and a 5% higher risk of stroke than non-users.
“Cannabis use is increasing in both prevalence and frequency, while regular cigarette smoking is decreasing,” said Dr. Salome Kayhany, lead author of the study. “As time passes, cannabis use itself may become a more important risk factor.”
