NEW YORK, June 12 ( Praxis Press )_ A new
study published in the journal Circulation shows that marijuana smoking may
be a rare trigger of heart attack in people with established coronary artery
disease or multiple risk factors for heart disease.
______In 1999, a report released by the Institute of Medicine noted that the
effects of marijuana on the heart might cause problems for older users.
Self-reported use of marijuana is greatest among adults ages 18 to 25,
although the prevalence of use in baby boomers prone to heart disease has
increased.
______On average, marijuana smokers were more likely than non-users to be
male, and to have multiple risk factors for heart disease, such as smoking
cigarettes and being overweight. However, they were less likely to have
other risk factors, such as chest pain or a history of high blood pressure.
The researchers concluded that smoking marijuana may pose a health risk in
people with existing heart disease or multiple risk factors.

I get too tired for sex after smoking weed. LOL
But I have yet to see one scientific study on the ill-effects of smoking pot, except for the clogging up the lungs. But there is proof that smoking weed brings up the phlegm from smoking cigarettes to help unclog the lungs.

Smoking, yes. But slight. Eating? NO! Zero adverse (health)side effects in ANY study when eaten. Motor skills and inhibition only, buddy. Smoking isn't horrible, but eating is OK! Just takes a little more. Damn, there's a ******' side effect. The sexual part? It's just because we're already sexual, it just lowers your inhibitions, and you relax enough to ****! Countered the side effect, YESSSS!! Yep, weed is good! Have fun!

I don't know if it is bad for the heart but it is definitely bad for the lungs anyone tells you different and I am telling you they are wrong, after you smoke out of a bong or a pipe notice hoow it resins up? that stuff cakes up in your lungs like that too, plus do you really think you would cough if it weren't bad for your lungs?

Yes, it's bad for the heart and the brain. All smoking is bad for the heart. You feel hunger and weird senses because that's the ways it effects the brain.

Any burning substance, when inhaled, is 'bad' for the lungs. The heart? That's hard to say. If the smoke displaces enough oxygen that your heart can't keep doing it's job...yeah, that'd be bad.
