A new study claims that smoking weed or cannabis can reduce the risk of stroke in a person. Medical strains of the drug are already prescribed across more than half of US to treat chronic pain, anxiety and epilepsy.
The new study, conducted by the University of Texas at Dallas has found that the drug can improve oxygen and blood flow to the brain, reducing the risk of clots that cause brain attacks.
Regular cannabis users have the most efficient brain blood flow of all, suggesting that the risk of stroke is lowest in them.
The study builds on previous researchers on marijuana but while they concluded that cannabis slows down memory function, the research, led by Dr Francesca Filbey states that the drug has a positive effect.
