Despite widespread perceptions of cannabis as a relatively safe substance, its association with ischemic stroke remains unclear, especially as legalization and use rates grow.

Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar (up to March 2025) to identify studies evaluating the association between cannabis use and ischemic stroke risk. Inclusion criteria required studies to compare cannabis users with non-users and report quantitative risk estimates (odds ratios, hazard ratios, or relative risks with 95% confidence intervals). Quality assessment utilized the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist. Data were pooled using a random-effects model, and heterogeneity was assessed with the I<sup>2</sup> statistic.
