This is a bit sensational, but according to a recent study and findings, it was found hat the trauma patients who were taking marijuana had less death rates in hospitals. This was determined by the screening of drugs when admitted. 

In this study, those who tested positive for cannabis use did have decreased risks of dying in the hospital compared to those who didn’t. there was logistic regression that did determine the mortality risk, and also looks at morality factors such as the severity of the injury, the age, the gender, their vitals, and other aspects of this. They also did look at patients who were younger adults in the ICU. 

This didn’t have any specific conclusions as to why there were lower death rates when these patients who used marijuana were put in the hospital. The findings are mostly based on various clinical studies to look at the targeting interventions for this. 

With a lack of total explanation for this the degree of skepticism there is still pretty high, but the noteworthy aspects of this d say that those users do have less risk for other mortality conditions. 

Heart Failure 

In a study published in June of 2020, it was mentioned that almost 5 million people go to the hospital for issues related to heart failure. Those who were testing positive for marijuana use were a third less likely to die.  The other factors including hypertension, diabetes, renal failure, or metastatic cancer also were a lot less common amongst the users of cannabis. While there is no conclusions of this, there is a casual relationship between both. 

Cancer 

It was also found that cancer patient mortality was also a lot less compared to those who used marijuana. About ten percent of those who were admitted did also use marijuana, and it was found that the study also found that those who were marijuana users were also about 80% less likely for a chance to have a cancer diagnosis, compared to those non-users that are there.  There was a slight chance for lymphatic cancer though compared to those non-users, but not by much. 

Burn Injuries 

Those who are medical marijuana consumers and also have severe burn injures also had a 99% chance of making it out alive. This is compared to the heavy drinks, who aren’t as lucky compared to them. 

According to findings based off a survey of over 3300 different burn victims, it was found that through their toxic ology and blood screenings, the mortality rate was a lot higher for those who have cocaine, amphetamines, and also alcohol or other drugs. For those who were marijuana users, you only have less than 1% of a chance of dying. 

COPD 

Finally, we have COPD, which is the fourth largest death cause in the US, and according to a study, it was found that marijuana users weren’t going to die of COPD as much in the hospital, and this is based off a study of about 6 million hospital patients that were admitted. 

It was found that the odds for this wee a lot lower in terms of the mortality of a the users in the hospital, and the association between this definitely shows and interaction with this. There was about a 37% less risk of dying in the hospital if you were a marijuana user, compared to those who weren’t. 

So while it may not possibly fix everything, and it may not be a smart thing to put all of your chances in weed, this can prove that there may be a chance for you to possibly make it out alive.
