Wrong wrong wrong!

Teens CAN have strokes. Weed does NOT lower blood pressure. It raises it, and can cause tachycardia, aka faster heartbeat. This alone is NOT enough to cause a stroke.

Strokes, or TIAs, are essentially heart attacks in the brain. When one has plaque in their arteries, either from genetic predisposition or eating waay too much saturated fats, they stick to your arterial walls, like a gummy substance, and can harden over time.

High blood pressure, even for a few hours, can cause these plaques to break off, and lodge in smaller blood vessels and cappillaries in your veins. Storkes are deadlier the older you get, because of the larger particle sizes that accumulate in your veins.

If there was a stroke, it would have to be caused by something that would raise your blood pressure MUCH higher than cannabis alone. The more pressure, the more parts that break loose. Cannabis is like jogging mildly to your heart. Jogging normally would raise one\'s blood pressure far out of reach than cannabis. But speed or PCP will raise it that high.

It was laced.

smoke at your own risk. just the same as operate a motor vehicle or a chain saw at your own risk.

Co sign. People are dying unexpectably on rollcoasters from unknown medical conditions. Maybe they should make rollercoasters illegal too. And teens can die from stokes just like than can die from heart attacks and a healthy 32 year old firefighter can die suddenly of an aneurysm. They're all just unfortunate circumstances. The DEA is just using that as a scapegoat to make a case for keeping herb illegal. That's real pathetic. You can tell they're scraping the bottom of the barrel.

And for you picky bitches, this is not death as a result of marijuana, it is death from a stroke. Of course a coroners report won't read that marijuana caused the death.
etc.

Right on :stoned:

Man I'm sorry. Replace low blood pressure with high in my posts. I'm pretty fucking baked. That was a Freudian slip.

After some more research I found a few articles to reference what I remember learning a while back. Rare risk: Adolescent binging on marijuana linked to stroke
Meh. I doubt anyone will ever find a medical fact on weed to be 100% accurate until it is legalized and less of a taboo to research.
Again I'm sorry about trying to look smart when I'm high.

Looking for information on blood pressure, I found this link.

Good read if you haven't seen it.
