[week 71]

From the article "Because the average participant in the new study was 30 years old, the study could help explain why young Americans are increasingly suffering heart attacks."

Maybe. I'm not a Cannabis user, but I don't recall ever hearing about young people dying from smoking pot in the 60's and 70's.

Methinks there might be an elephant in the room put into young people starting around 2021 that should have been ruled out as a potential cause.

[Honorary Serb]

I don’t know. But cannabis is stronger now than in the 1960s and 1970s.

[Baldwin]

Hmm, did they look to see who had the COVID jabs?

[xp38]

We have been told cannabis today is much stronger than what was used back in the 60s and 70s so who knows but that could be a factor.

[Secret Agent Man]

Yes.

They have been scrambling for a long time to blame certain pesky death health problems on anything but the death clot shots.

[toast]

I’m still getting used to the idea that pot smoking is now only considered a dirty habit.

[okkev68]

Whew!! I thought it was going to be a much different dirty habit...

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

The rash of young heart attack victims is due to the Covid clot shot, not due to pot. I hate drugs and pot smoking stoners are stupid, but pot is not what is causing young people to drop dead from heart attacks. That happening because of the Covid shot.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Meanwhile, why would I trust anything from the University of San Fransicko?

[Bob434]

what if you don’t inhale?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yeh, right! Blame the vaxx heart attacks on weed. What a crock!

[wardaddy]

There’s collateral factors need to be examined like less active lifestyles

However as someone who was born with RBB and unfulfilled LAD and now has pacemaker and reconstructed LAD and HFpEF at 68

Heart disease is overwhelmingly predisposition

Tobacco vaping is maybe worst offender like cigarettes

Constant constructing and relaxing of arteries throughout body

I could see weed doing that too first 15/20 minutes in its stimulant phase before the depressant action starts

I know scores of senior pot smokers and don’t see anything anecdotal really

I know folks smoke mid 80s and have since beatlemania

Excessive weed use isn’t good but it’s pales compared to booze and pill heads

No I don’t use it either not since 1990

Old folks smoke joints or maybe take gummies

Young people like to rip bongs or dab/rosin

The pot that people are smoking these days is very different from the pot available in the 1960s and 70’s.

There have been 60 years of selective breeding and genetic engineering aimed at making the plants more potent and engineering the high producing Cannabinoids for greater psychoactive and psychedelic effects. If you have ever seen a modern pot plant they are really amazing.

They are literally designer drug plants so loaded with THC that they are dripping.

The plants are loaded with novel engineered high potency strains of Cannabinoids that affect the body in ways much different than the Maui Wowie and Acapulco Gold so users are getting much higher doses of much more potent variants of THC that affect the body in novel ways.

[FamiliarFace]

Indeed. Clot shots, anyone? Bueller, Bueller?

[dangus]

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.

[mewzilla]

From late last year, paging potheads......

Myocardial Infarction Triggered by Marijuana Use

[clee1]

Its the mRNA “vaccines”; not weed.

And I am NOT saying weed is good for you....

[CaptainPhilFan]

FFS.

What’ll be the next excuse people are dropping suddenly and unexpectedly? What?

Shampoo? Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Being left or right handed? Gray paint?

...Or ... .. could it be!?! .... the scamdemic “vaccine”???

hmmmmm ....

[Vermont Lt]

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.

[wardaddy]

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

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

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"
