Pot smokers may have less inflammation

New York, Dec 22 : People who smoke marijuana may have lower levels of inflammation which is linked with the risk of heart disease, scientists have found. Researchers examined data from more than 9,000 people on their history of marijuana use and their levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), one marker of inflammation that is frequently linked with people’s risk of heart disease. The researchers found that people who smoked pot in the last month had lower CRP levels than those who had never smoked the drug, ‘Live Science’ reported.
