    This is an observational study, and as such, can’t establish cause and effect, and the researchers acknowledge various limitations to their findings. These include the inability to separate out individual states or look at the method of cannabis use (smoked or not). Nor were they able to account for trends in illegal use.

      Yes - and if the study can not establish neither cause nor effect - isn’t the whole study a shot in the dark? The whole title wants you to draw the association that cannabis use is proportional to an increase in cardio vascular issues?
