Though in this case I wouldn't expect to need a study to guess a link exists. But only now can we even hint at what should be obvious.

Smoking weed increases your risk of heart attack and stroke. That was obvious this whole time?

Correlation != causation. Especially when the study doesn't show a simple correlation like that either. At least not for heart attacks.

> The multivariate survey‐adjusted logistic regression analysis of the entire sample did not reach a significant association between daily cannabis use and CHD (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.16 [95% CI, 0.98–1.38]; P=0.09)

But there does seem to be one for strokes

> Among those who had never used tobacco cigarettes and had never used e‐cigarettes, cannabis use was not associated with CHD or MI but was associated with stroke (aOR, 2.24 [95% CI, 1.31–3.83]) versus tobacco‐adjusted odds in the whole sample (aOR, 1.42 [95% CI, 1.20–1.68])

Smoking anything increases your risk.

It seems reasonable that deep inhalation of any burnt substance should increase risk. The burnig of fields in South Asia, for example:

I think studies show the effect with cake and edibles too

That is something that while not surprising at least should need some study before you state it as a fact.
