Smoking weed may be dangerous for your heart, study finds

[yardgrazer]

I'm gonna guess the people this guy sees at the Brigham are in pretty bad shape heart health-wise. Think he's talking about a fairly specific and narrow population. More knowledge is not bad. Not all science is bunk, most popular and newsmedia writing about science however, is near-bunk.

Smoking anything will be bad for your heart.... anything that displaces oxygen....

I agree with you, how can ANY smoke be 100% non-toxic??

Probably can't....
Given that it's a small amount of oxygen, and the fact that marihuana has antitumorogenic activity, and allows the brain to create new neurons/neuropathways, I actually think it's safe to say that if a person had a healthy lifestyle overall, marihuana is actually good for you....

The Dr. who signed my MMAR application back in the day told me he read over 300 scientific papers on marihuana, and it should never have been illegal.

Breathing in the air itself is more toxic in some places in the world then actually smoking cannabis. Kind of hard for them to make a claim right now when the world is the way it is...

Many people fall in love with cannabis - it becomes a matter of the heart - and when you don't have any - and/or can't grow any - then you might behave like you are heart-broken -

- so yes - cannabis can be bad for the heart - if you fall too deeply in love with the plant - then suddenly its not there any more - it can cause much grief -

My heart breaks at the end of harvest. So I grow little plants indoor and even lettuce to placate myself until spring.

I miss outdoor growing so I grow a garden of many vegetables in the summer.... not quite the same though
