who smoke marijuana are more likely to get COVID-19, even if they are fully
vaccinated.
The new study found that
those with a substance use disorder, specifically dependent on marijuana, are almost
8% more likely to get a breakthrough infection.
The
researchers say those people likely have a lower immune resistance and many
also have another disease. Both of the factors could explain why they are more
likely to get COVID-19 after being vaccinated.
