Huge heart attack risk linked to dirty habit that MILLIONS of Americans are doing daily
Daily Mail ^ | 5/2925 | Emily Sterne

Regularly smoking weed or consuming edibles may raise the risk of suffering a heart attack, a study suggests.

The team from the University of California San Francisco who made the find warns it is 'more evidence cannabis use is not benign.'

It also comes amid an alarming rise in unexplained heart attacks in young Americans, which experts are still trying to unpack.

First, smoking pot in the 60s and 70s usually meant smoking tobacco also, so detecting that pot was harmful would’ve been difficult

Second, today’s pot is waaaay stronger

Third, maybe there is some interaction? I don’t mean to say you’re absolutely wrong.

I had 3 covid shots 4 years ago. Now at age 85, I mowed my lawn this morning in 85 deg Florida humid weather. No chest pains or lack of stamina. Caveat I never smoked weed, and gave up booze at age 50. And never miss daily exercise.

On average 3-4 times higher THC

Few things more exaggerated than thc potency of weed except penis girth

Impartial assays I’ve trusted consider 25-33 super high

Most is 16-24 honestly deduced

1980 sense or Jamaican was 8-12 average

Now edibles and particularly concentrates are as high as possible

Live resin concentrate is 90%

One lung full is oven baked stone that last

But cheefs can even acclimate to that trust me

I’ve had to leave a study office clouded with that shit folks ripping 8-10 hits in a row

Booze addicts conversely get sloshed on less and less as the condition worsens over the years

Pot is a strange intoxicant I’m ambivalent about it

But like psychedelics I give cautionary advice

Don’t go post toastie on it and couch surf your best years away

My understanding is heart damage from the shot only largely effects young people (particularly young men).

The pot of our youth is NOT the pot they smoke today. The THC levels are much higher. If you could smoke a couple of joints in 1977….smoking that much today would put you in a coma. (Not literally…but it would knock you on your ass.)

I wonder if the correlation has more to do with “lifestyle” rather than chemical content. Those smoking a lot would likely be less active and have other lifestyle/cultural issues (like the consumption of munchies and being sedentary).

I imagine higher levels of THC would have some impact.

My personal experience with local growers is that they grow almost organically so I doubt if its chemicals used in production.

Not just heart attack, stoke as well Also from 2024..

Association of Cannabis Use With Cardiovascular Outcomes Among US Adults

And note this bit...

...• Cannabis use is associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke, with higher odds of events associated with more days of use per month, controlling for demographic factors and tobacco smoking. • Similar increases in risk associated with cannabis use are found in never‐tobacco smokers...

I’m saying CoupFlu vaxxes AND weed.

There are papers on the Cardiovascular risk pre-dating CoupFlu vaxxes.

Deep State didn’t give a damn about the risk from legalized weed, either.

It’s funny nobody here ever admits they smoke weed but cocktail hour is celebrated

I promise we have smokers of marihuana here

Outside Dixie a lot of freepers hate the folks who get stoned

In the south the white culture has made right wing pot smokers
It’s funny

In my youth we were Allman bros style hipped but very trad

With duck calls and guns and went to church every Sunday

Yet chronics and tripped

That same kid in Santa Cruz was likely far left

All I did was move further right as an adult

At 24/25 I’m pretty much as trad as now at 68

That’s what I keep reading here. Several young people under age 35 in my family had multiple shots. No one had any heart issues. That does not mean some young people did suffer adverse reactions to COVID shots. May be there were other side health issues present? Who knows. My guess is overwhelming number of young people are alive and well after the jabs. Which leads me to believe percentage of people who suffered adverse side effects may be small.

Yet another reason why they call it dope.

I smoke two joints in the morning

I smoke two joints at night

I smoke two joints in the afternoon

It makes me feel all right

I smoke two joints in time of peace

And two in time of war

I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints

And then I smoke two more

Daddy, he once told me

"Son, you be hard workin' man"

And momma, she once told me "Son, you do the best you can"

But then one day I met a man Who came to me and said

"Hard work good and hard work fine"

"But first take care of head"

Original version from The Toyes

Ill, ignorant, and impaired is the hat trick for Deep State.

Americans can’t always help the first, but we can bloody well do something about the second and third.

Don’t make it easy for Deep State.
