The Journal of the American Heart Association analysed data from 430 thousand adults across four years.
The study found a person's stroke risk rose 42 percent and heart attack risk rose 25 percent, if cannabis was used daily.
Lead study author Abra Jeffers told CNN smoking cannabis has significant cardiovascular risks - just like smoking tobacco.
He says this is important because cannabis use is increasing, while tobacco use is decreasing.
