Regular use of marijuana can lead to enlargement of the left ventricle. Report based on a survey carried out by the Queen Mary University of London, Dr Mohammed Khanji using data from the UK Biobank.

As reported in the Daily telegraph 18th December. More research is needed?

Regular use of alcohol can lead to all sorts of problems too. In fact, drinking too much water will destabilize electrolyte balance. Everything in moderation.
