I’d bet an ounce that there is a difference between burning bud, vaping, dabs, and edibles. This seems like it lumps everything together.

The results echo a 2022 study from the U.K., which found that among participants aged 40 to 69, those who reported smoking cannabis were more likely to have a heart attack compared with non-users.

--buried amongst the fluff in the article

Smoking.
Which was far more prevalent (99.9%?) pre-legalization.
Vaping and ingesting cannabis are far more common now.

To be fair, it's an 'ok' article, as it brings the topic to light, however it appears the self-reported cannabis use would be dominated by smokers given the relative 'newness' of alternative consumption methods.
