So I get amphetamines and cocaine, but what could be the cause for increased stroke risk in cannabis users, if we're assuming a causal relationship? Do we also see stroke increase in tobacco smokers, could it be the smoke? Is the THC just fucking with our brain chemistry in such a way that increases strokes?

It's just a very interesting finding to me.

Smoking tobacco has a very well established associated increase risk of stroke, heart disease, and all other sorts of cardiovascular diseases.

This study is not even able to prove that anything increases a risk of stroke. They just found correlations here and there and drew conclusions not supported by the facts.
