Question

They put a stent in my artery to my lower heart, and I am now on blood pressure meds and plavix and crestor,I am stopping smoking cigarettes, my question is it safe to smoke marijuana, since I have been smoking it since 1967, not in an abusive way but more casual

Answer 1

Actually not good to smoke anything.
The reason is that cigarettes or pot or cigars or anything smoked causes elevation of blood pressure and vasoconstriction . Also causes chemical changes in your
arteries that sets off a chain of events leading to arterioslerosis and fatty plaques that are on the inner walls of the coronary arteries to form clots. Since you have a history of smoking for 30 years we may have found the suspect that caused your problem in the first place .
Ask your cardiologist if you can have a beer or 2 instead.

Answer 2

Here is a better way then smoking it, this way gives more THC and spares the heart from the dangerous toxins in the smoke.
this is used by many people that need medical marijuana
but can not smoke it.

this will help you stop smoking cigarettes as marijuana raises the dopamine levels in the brain and will replace cigarettes as a source of dopamine.
and since you are not smoking marijuana it will not interfere with braking the habit of liteing up a cigerette.

Answer 3

I believe the damage that smoke does, is the damage that smoke does. Find another way to amuse yourself. My brother-in-law couldn't stop smoking and he died on the table. The doctors were appalled to find out, after all the operations, that he was still smoking and that he lied before the last one and said he had quit. Smoking is a killer. Don't be stupid like my brother-in-law. If you must find a substance to amuse yourself with, ask your doctor. He will tell you. He doesn't want you to die either. . .

Answer 4

think it should be alright, have fun man
