does smoking pot cause early heart attack?

[beachguy in thongs]

I've never read Jack Herer, sounds like this guy should.

[beachguy in thongs]

I've seen him, and his name, but I've always turned my attention towards something else, I don't know why.

true but your heart beats so fast you burn it off probly lose weight

Holy smokes Bullwinkle! Where the hell do you get your information? DARE?

Now why is your heart beating so fast? Anticipation of your hit from the bong? Maybe living in a police state in constant fear can bring heart levels up? Do you even know how many calories one burns at any specific heart rate vs their weight at excercise, much less in fear? Talk about selling a bill of goods seedbare, your info is barren of reality and content.

What are you so afraid of? Why are you beating a panic drum? What are you doing smoking at all in your paranoid state? You need to seek attention to your fears before you can spread your wings.

I suggests attending to your lung problem, then figure out why you are using a substance you think is bad. You need to look at why you use something you think is so negative, shows a real destructive personality.

the only reason they link it to things like lung cancer and heart disease it coz they think everyone mixes it with tobacco

Brings me to a story (yep the old man sits back) in Morocco back in 70-71 as they turned from legal to illegal kif. I had been there quite some time, always trying to find a place to live where I was free to smoke and get on with my life, and never noticed the posters as anything evil. They looked like Greatful Dead posters, with a skull and smoking. Then one day I got up and went to my beachfront cafe to have my coffee and morning pipe, and the waiter told me not to smoke.

I asked why? He told me it was illegal. I laughed, "no its not." He said it was. I asked if it was some holiday or something? He said no, it was now illegal and showed me the great posters I had seen around. Translating he told me it said. "Kif destroys the mind and the body." It went on to say it caused cancer. The poster was right. Kif was mixed 50/50 with black tobacco and of course, it causes cancer.

Vaporizer, that is the only call to the future.

You are joking of course.

I have smoked every day for over 40 years and have none of what you speak. My annual checkup shows absolute clear lungs. There was one spread of 3 days when I was 17 that I ran out of pot, never again. I am the real deal and been in the active part of this industry since they featured me in an Art Crumb comic in the early 60's. I am at most of the industry gatherings and almost everyone who is anyone knows about me.

The only bill here is your growing nose little feller. You are sold into the propaganda from Readers Digest. If you are having problems with your lungs, they are your inherited problem, not from the cannabis.

oh please what a braggart,you cant be serious?

I believe him about the 'clear lungs' part. 832 is the death toll from Katrina.

Well, you are a wealth of knowledge on many health related information, Jack should round you out and maybe point out some more. Amazing his book is free online and shows he cares to get the information out. The Jack Herer breed of plant, named after him, is one of the tallest strongest of the breeds. I have not seen a bigger stronger yielding plant, and that is why they named it Jack Herer.

I got to meet him at the 16th Cannabis Cup, where they honored his lifetime of work. He was very ill then. Only cannabis kept his pain and disease in check this long. I am writing a book and told my editor that I demand people read his book as pre-requisite to mine. I dont want to cover what he did so well already. I make constant reference to it. Jack stopped at the cannabis level and I take a closer look at how such a conspiracy can and does happen.

Read a chapter a day online and you will really learn a lot and have a great reference. All his work is documented with links to the documentation.

oh please what a braggart,you cant be serious?

Nope, never had to brag, have to hold back so it does not get so obscene eveyone will freak out.

I am more serious than you can ever imagine. So go take care of that problem. I am very serious, you are taking a substance you believe to be dangerous and that shows a very screwed up personality. Go get some help brother. For you, this is a problem.

As far as me, you would not be the only one who cannot believe anyone can do whatever they please in life. However, my reality exists and many live vicariously through me because their own mundane existance and everyday life sucks so bad they think there is no doorway out. They are rich, they are poor, but they are stuck and I am not. I have never done a thing anyone else cannot do, they just never did it. So there is no bragging, only eludication.

anyone who doesent know that pot makes your heart beat like a jackrabbit running up hill has either never smoked, or is a fraud and a liar.

[beachguy in thongs]

Thanks for the comment, Art. That's my only-uncle's name.

My smile quickly turned itself around, when you said that he was sick. Cannabis not only keeps things in check, but it can make you grow, as a person. In fact, it helped me back into reality when I slipped out, 11 years ago, on October 22. I want to learn more of him as a person before I check out his work, because I'm kind of concerned with that. I think I saw him on a site for "The Emporers New Clothes" or whatever, did he write that? I never read that, either.
