The number of New Yorkers complaining of pain caused by the smell of marijuana is increasing.

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 daily newspaper, “Even though I live on the fourth floor, the smell of marijuana is so strong that it is difficult to wake up, relax, or go to bed. I don’t suffer from nausea or allergies.” “I often feel sexual itchiness, eye itchiness, and neck pain,” he said. He is considering moving elsewhere because of the marijuana smell.

“Cannabis smoke goes straight into the kids’ bathroom,” said Claire, who lives in Brooklyn. “He said several times that the children smelled like weed.” Allison, who lives in a luxury rental building in Dumbo, also said, “A new neighbor moved in next door in May of last year, and from then on, a strong smell of marijuana began to emanate not only inside the house but also in various common areas such as hallways, elevators, and lobbies.” “It’s so strong that there are days when I wake up at 2 a.m.,” he said.

Marijuana isn’t just about the unpleasant smell. A study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that people who smoked marijuana daily had a greater risk of heart attack and stroke than those who did not smoke marijuana.

The researchers analyzed data from 434,104 American adults aged 18 to 74 from 2016 to 2020. About 4% used marijuana daily, 7% used the drug five days a month, and 88.9% did not use marijuana at all.

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 never used cannabis. People who used cannabis sporadically had a 3% increased risk of heart attack and a 5% increased risk of stroke compared to non-users.

“Cannabis use is increasing in both prevalence and frequency, while regular cigarette smoking is decreasing,” said study lead author Dr. Salome Kayhany. “Over time, cannabis use itself may become a more important risk factor.” He warned.
