Older adults who don’t smoke tobacco but do use marijuana were at higher risk of both heart attack and stroke when hospitalized, while people who use marijuana daily were 34% more likely to develop heart failure, according to two new non-published studies presented Monday at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions in Philadelphia.
“Observational data are strongly pointing to the fact that … cannabis use at any point in time, be it recreational or medicinal, may lead to the development of cardiovascular disease,” Robert Page II, chair of the volunteer writing group for the 2020 American Heart Association Scientific Statement: Medical Marijuana, Recreational Cannabis, and Cardiovascular Health, said in a statement. He was not involved in either of the new studies.
The AHA recommendations advise people refrain from smoking or vaping any substance, including cannabis products, because of the potential harm to the heart, lungs and blood vessels.
“The latest research about cannabis use indicates that smoking and inhaling cannabis increases concentrations of blood carboxyhemoglobin (carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas), tar (partly burned combustible matter) similar to the effects of inhaling a tobacco cigarette, both of which have been linked to heart muscle disease, chest pain, heart rhythm disturbances, heart attacks and other serious conditions,” said Page, a professor in the department of clinical pharmacy and physical medicine/rehabilitation at the University of Colorado Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Aurora, Colorado.
“You need to treat this just like you would any other risk factor (for heart disease and stroke), and honestly understand the risks that you were taking,” he said.

Don’t smoke, vape.
Make pot-pills. Drop all day.
Note to self: smoke tobacco when getting stoned. 😂
Oil under the tongue is how I do CBD. I need to make more of it (it stinks up the house when I cook it)
I use gummies but they’re hard to keep lit.
This is why all these people are dying, dropping dead of heart attacks and strokes, because of pot, not experimental vaccinations. So there you have it.
Finally, some good news for a change.
Finally, some good news for a change.
Smoking (or eating brownies or gummies) is so relaxing that you just sit on the couch and listen to music or watch TV. You don't go for that run or bike ride because...well, just because.
And after a few weeks of skipping cardio, the habit is broken. In fact, whenever you think that you need to go for a run, you remember how painful it's gonna be to get back into the cardio routine...so you smoke another joint and go back to the couch.
Don’t worry about any of this !
Just sit back, kick back, and have a toke !
The Regime doesn’t want you to be motivated and start organizing opposition.
The Regime wants you to feel GOOD !
If I can get back to SW Virginia and stop by.
Good one.
“Don’t smoke, vape.”
That’s what I do.
Try a dab of CBD oil on the top of your first bowl.
And lowers thought of giving a darn. So objective fact is pointless. Like an alcoholic looking at data with vodka in his hand.
Plus, you gotta be smarter than us dumb people to smoke it in the first place.
If you’re a senior pothead, you’re doing life wrong.
It ain’t rocket science when inhaling any kind of gas into your lungs...whether flavored with tobacco , marijuana, CBD or whatever....it’s the gas that damages your lungs.
This article makes it sound that it is just marijuana itself hurting you. But point is made that best to avoid inhaling any gas....eat a gummy or something.
Signd....
Dr. Patricia
LOL!! Good one.
“But point is made that best to avoid inhaling any gas....”
Might not be the most intelligent comment. One has to breath.
