Propaganda or real?

So I've been taking a break from smoking (day 76, but whos counting :)) anyways I was on a forum and someone mentioned that weed is linked to heart attacks, think they said something like "let 'em smoke and they'll stroke out". I thought that sounded pretty far fetched so I did a search, landed on a gov site, (I know I know if its the gov its all lies) but it sort of says there is a link between smoking reefer and heart issues. This was published in June of 2020. I almost wonder if its propaganda to hide the covid19 vaxx side effects. Heres a little bit from the Abstract: "Studies have shown that marijuana plays a role in thrombosis, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. Case reports have linked marijuana use to myocardial infarction, cardiac arrythmias, cardiomyopathies, stroke, and arteritis."
So what do y'all think?

Could possibly be propaganda. But anyone who thinks that smoking weed regularly does not have any downsides is a fool. You can't get high on anything without using your body to pay some kind of price. That's just a straight up fact.

It's not propaganda if you look at the dates on the articles in the bibliography, that meta analysis is about the opening gold rush of research that cannabis represents. You are going to see all the specialties beginning to carve out their areas of research and how this fits into current pharmacology for their specialty. I hope that helps

It’s not too far fetched to assume that inhaling a carcinogenic substance is not great for you long term. I’m forty years in; not trying to make anyone feel bad. I love weed. Also not under any impression that all this smoking has been good for my lungs or heart.
