A study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association and funded by the National Institutes of Health found that those who smoke weed daily are at a significantly higher risk of suffering heart attack and stroke than those who don’t.

“We’ve known for a long time that smoking tobacco is linked to heart disease, and this study is evidence that smoking cannabis appears to also be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death in the United States,” Jeffers’ statement continued. “Cannabis use could be an important, underappreciated source of heart disease.”

Weed is a wonder drug of vast proportions! If only “big pharma” would let the word get out! But they are suppressing it to make people buy their drugs!
Yep. You betcha!
Get yourself an egg and beat it.
That's what SHE said.

Have a banana.

It doesn’t matter what you had for lunch.
Just eat it.

She’s AWESOME!

Sounds like you met my ex.
I suggest you run, run like so far away. Run night and day.
I hope you get away.

I was recently diagnosed with Afib. I’m on meds for it. Asked the cardiologist about smoking marijuana. I was told not it is not a concern.
I trust my doctor over a study funded by the government on behalf of pharmaceutical companies.
I’m plenty relaxed. Just find it humorous that dope smokers absolutely won’t admit anything bad about it. Even alcoholics know it isn’t good but they do it anyway.
