The Association Between Marijuana Use and Myocardial Infarction, Asthma, and Depression in Racial and Sexual Minorities: BRFSS 2016–2022

Marijuana use was significantly associated with increased odds of history of depression, and sexual orientation modified this association. Significant, unadjusted, overall associations between marijuana use, previous myocardial infarction, and current asthma were found, but these associations were not typically significant after adjusting for covariates and looking within subgroups.

Marijuana use was significantly associated with increased odds of history of depression, and sexual orientation modified this association. Significant, unadjusted, overall associations between marijuana use, previous myocardial infarction, and current asthma were found, but these associations were not typically significant after adjusting for covariates and looking within subgroups.
