Does weed cause heart problems?

[mightymarijuanabuds]

yes, but the mild stimulation that ganja smoking will induce should NOT be causing pain... it is not more good than bad, quite the opposite

i still say get to a doctor yourself, don't trust your life to any advice you get on the internet.. even if any of us were medical professionals, we couldn't offer you any sound advice without physically seeing you

MarijuanaNews note: On the basis of the numbers presented here, the risk would appear to be a little less than 50 in a million for someone with heart disease. If the risk is 10 in a million for someone with no heart problems, and it is 4.8 times greater with heart disease, then it would be 48 in a million with heart disease. What kind of "dangerous game" is that? How does that compare with the risks in using other substances and other activities?

Marijuana typically makes the heart speed up by about 40 beats a minute. Whether this is how it contributes to heart attacks is unclear.
(MarijuanaNews note: Not all marijuana users experience such an increase.)

The reason cannabis tars do not cause cancer and tobacco tars do is because tobacco tars, unlike cannabis tars, have radioactivity in them.
Tobacco, unlike cannabis, is grown in radioactive soil and is fed through the leafy foliage with many different growth hormones.
This is why people who use tobacco show up dead @ the rate of 340,430,000 per year in amerikkka, and cannabis users arent.
Dr. Tashkin of UCLA, America's leading lung doctor reports these findings.
We (my generation) were told that by the year 2000 we would have hundreds of thousands of cannabis smokers lining up at the clinic with lung cancer due to our cannabis use. To this date? NONE. 40 years later.
It is my opinion that the biggest danger a cannabis user faces is to be locked up in a cage with violent criminals.

You know what is funny is that in foreign countries that make there own cigarettes there is NO canser they don't use radioactive soil, they just grow the Tobacco... It is not inriched for Flavor.

[mightymarijuanabuds]

other countries have cancer, just not at the same rate that we do

it doesnt matter how slim the chances are, if smoking is causing pain then something is not right. a slim chance is still a chance, and he should still go see a doctor, even if it ends up being nothing, that is the only way to know for sure.

I still say weed can't kill you. No one's died from it. I've checked online and read some articles on it. It can give you some breathing problems and alittle bit else but thats all. Nothing big

[daima]

It is always good to see a doctor, even if you feel healthy.
Let us remember that life itself is nothing but a chance. We do things on a daily basis that put our lives at risk. Like the water buffalo that has to cross a croc infested river to find a field of grass to eat, some of us will make it longer than others.

I had the same problem as redraindrop and turned out to be panic attacks.They called it phantom pains and they feel like your having a heart attack but your not its just in your head.Panic attacks are sometimes caused by a stressful or traumatic time in your life that catch up to you later and fuck with your head.What helped me through it is taking deep breaths,talking slow when reading something and ,believe it or not, dancing.Its not the weed its motherfucking dam panic attacks and boy do they suck.

I too had a panic attack. I was up in Yosemite's back country backpacking.
After walking a few hours over some of the killer granite domes that decorate the landscape i decided to sit and burn a bowl. Upon reaching for my dandy pipe i had realised that i had left it behind. I then checked for my rolling papers but i couldnt find them either. I fuckin panicked big time until i realized that the apple in my pack would make a fine pipe. I used that ol granny smith apple to make my pipe out of and then i ate it.
