A new study in the American Journal of Medicine shows that despite taking in more calories, Marijuana users are less likely to be obese, have a lower body-mass index, a lower risk of insulin resistance and had lower fasting insulin levels. These factors create a lower risk for diabetes. The study also found that marijuana users have higher levels of good cholesterol or HDL. “The most important finding is that current users of marijuana appeared to have better carbohydrate metabolism than nonusers” says Murray Mittleman – associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
