Cardiovascular disease refers to a group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels. It is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and includes conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, and stroke.
World Health Organization (WHO) writes that about one third of all global (noncommunicable) causes of death are caused by CVD (WHO, 2003). and, of these about seventy percent of all CVD mortality may be prevented by reducing primary risk factors such as smoking nicotine, obesity, lack of physical activity, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes. Non-controllable risk factors include age, sex, genetics
Treatment options for cardiovascular disease include lifestyle changes, medications, and in some cases, surgical interventions. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and regular check-ups with a healthcare provider can help prevent and manage cardiovascular disease.

Concerns about Cannabis and Cancer-related Immunotherapies:
Some recent clinical observational studies have suggested that the co-administration of cannabinoid-based therapeutics and immunotherapy or immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of certain types of cancer has been associated with worse overall survival rates (T. Taha et al., 2019; A. Biedny et al., 2020; G. Bar-Sela et al., 2020).
However, other studies have suggested that the co-commitment use of immune checkpoint inhibitors and cannabis-induced no such deleterious effects. More specifically, one trial was conducted on animals resulting in data suggesting that cannabis did not negatively affect the properties of immune checkpoint inhibitors (B. Waissengrin et al., 2023). The same authors compared the previous study results with findings from a cohort of 201 patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who received treatment with monotherapy pembrolizumab as a first-line treatment and adjunct cannabis to treat mainly pain and loss of appetite. Their time to tumor progression was 6.1 versus 5.6 months, and overall survival differed between 54.9 versus 23.6 months in cannabis-naïve patients and cannabis-using patients, respectively. However, while numerically different, the authors write that these differences were not statistically significant, leading them to suggest that “These data provide reassurance regarding the absence of a deleterious effect of cannabis in this clinical setting.”
