smoking weed

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

I'm not surprised. Most weed smokers I know also smoke cigs and are sedentary. Plus like others are pointing out this corporate weed is full of chemicals.

What about that tapes like rhythm? I was thinking about trying them.

Good weed has it's place in moderation but if you can't get some good shyt better to go without. A little wine occasionally if you looking to unwind is cool. When I say occasionally I mean no more than once or twice a month.

inhale plant smoke into your lungs brehs

We do not need a study to show that ingesting drugs are harmful, smoking your lungs will lead to decreased lifespan, ingesting harmful chemicals from the growing of weed is bad for you

 

[maxamusa]

Just like going outside increases your risk of getting hit by a car

health nuts are some of the most annoying people ever.....they swear they're invincible

Think about this a ton honestly. I’m not financially poor but it applies to so much.

Same thing applies for not taking care of yourself. It’s your body, mind and bank account though so you can do what you want.

good for you! nicotine is really really hard to quit. i got off cigarettes and on an e-cig. down to 3mg (from 18). id like to quit this year

Literally anyone can walk into a room and say I’m a rapper(now a successful chart topping rapper is different). Not anyone can walk into the same room of people and give diagnoses of there ailments and teach them explain methods of recovery and health.

Marijuana Users Are 6 Times More Likely to Have a Heart Attack, According to New Study​

A new study of 4.6 million people found that cannabis users were more like to experience heart failure, strokes, and cardiac arrest

Young marijuana users are six times more likely to have a heart attack than those who abstain from the drug, according to a new study that analyzed data from more than 4.6 million people.


The study followed adults younger than 50 who didn’t have any comorbidities from 2010 to 2018. According to research that was pre-published in the journal JACC: Advances, the study found “evidence linking cannabis use to adverse cardiovascular events, including MI [Myocardial Infarction], ischemic stroke, HF [heart failure] and mortality.”


Specifically, cannabis users were six times more likely to have a heart attack, four times more likely to have an ischemic stroke, two times more likely to experience heart failure — and the risk of death from cardiovascular problems, heart attack or stroke, was tripled.


“Cannabis use appears to pose a substantial and independent risk for these outcomes, even in a population without traditional cardiovascular risk factors,” the study said. “These findings suggest cannabis as a novel and under-recognized risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.”


The study’s lead author, Dr. Ibrahim Kamel — a clinical instructor at the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and internal medicine resident at St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Boston — said doctors should ask about a patient’s cannabis use to get a better understanding of their cardiovascular health, reports SciTechDaily.


“At a policy level, a fair warning should be made so that the people who are consuming cannabis know that there are risks,” he said, according to the outlet.


It was not specified if the cannabis consumption was via smoking or edibles.



Kamel also shares that patients need to be honest with their doctors. “We should have some caution in interpreting the findings in that cannabis consumption is usually associated with other substances such as cocaine or other illicit drugs that are not accounted for,” Kamel said, according to the outlet. “Patients should be forthcoming with their doctors and remember that we are their number one advocate and having the full story matters.”
