The statement found using weed has "the potential to interfere with prescribed medications" as well as "trigger cardiovascular conditions or events, such as heart attacks and strokes," said clinical pharmacologist Robert Page II, who chaired the medical writing group for the statement.

Heart complications
Some of the studies analyzed by the medical group found heart rhythm abnormalities, such as tachycardia and atrial fibrillation, could occur within the hour after weed containing THC is smoked. THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the psychoactive substance within marijuana that creates a “high.”

Tetrahydrocannabinol can also cause a faster heart rate, increase the heart’s need for oxygen, disrupt the walls of arteries and contribute to higher blood pressure while prone, according to other studies.

“Cannabis smoke contains components similar to tobacco smoke,” Page said, and studies show tobacco-like increases in carbon monoxide and tar in a weed smoker’s blood after smoking marijuana, regardless of the THC content.

Chest pain, heart attacks, heart rhythm disturbances and other serious heart conditions are associated with both tobacco and marijuana carbon monoxide intoxication, the statement said.

For anyone with existing heart disease, risks go up. Smoking weed has triggered heart attacks, a higher risk of strokes and heart failure in people with underlying heart disease, studies show.

In comparison, CBD, or cannabidiol, one of the other 80 chemicals in cannabis, does not give the “high” typically associated with THC. Nor does it appear to cause harm to the heart.

In fact, studies reviewed by the medical group showed possible links to lower blood pressure, reduced heart rate and less inflammation, which is an underlying culprit of the narrowing of the arteries that can lead to heart disease and strokes.

However, despite the hundreds of products currently being sold over the counter and online, there is only one CBD-derived product approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, the group wrote.

Weird, I see Dolphin looking in my asshole

Weed Not So Good For The Heart

First cocaine and now weed, what's a guy supposed to do!!!!

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Luckily (and locally) alcohol and meth are still safe.

Weird, I always pegged LTG as a smoker, sad!

Nah not my thing. Not pro or Anti but I do think that people need to be aware of the side effects. I've been around a ton of it during my life and the common refrain has always been that it wasn't unhealthy for people that indulged. Other than affecting brain cells.
Just think that its important for people to know the harm in it.

Weed has kept me from getting the 'Rona. I really believe that.

Bob works the lockdown/teachers/covid thing into most posts these days and no, Charlie and Blues are their own people

i'm just saying that if it was going to be bad for my heart, it probably would've done so by now.

So what about edibles and vapor?
