Researchers have found that people who regularly smoke large amounts of cannabis have reduced bone density and are more prone to fractures.
In the first study of its kind to investigate bone health amongst cannabis users, researchers have found that people who regularly smoke large amounts of cannabis have reduced bone density and are more prone to fractures.
The study also found that heavy cannabis users have a lower body weight and a reduced body mass index (BMI), which could contribute to thinning of their bones. This could mean heavy users of the drug are at greater risk of osteoporosis in later life. [ link to www.ed.ac.uk (secure)]  Got milk? I and a lot of my friends have been smoking it daily for around 35 years. None of us have bone issues.
