I had heart sugery as a youngin..still have heart disease...when I smoked I swear I was bout to call the ambulance..can't fukk with it like that
tough luck, I started having short sharp heart pains once in the blue moon at 12yo and never thought anything of it until i almost got caught smoking in high school
It was in my 2nd senior year
a couple of the homies and I would always come into our literature class high as fukk because it was right after lunchIm sure the pawg teacher knew we were fried most of the time so one day we were randomly called to the nurses office for a check up
everyone's blood pressure was fine except for mineit was 180/90
the nurse told me to stay in the office and wait till she was done with everyone else 
I ran home as soon as the bell rungthe next day they gave me a notice telling me I was not allowed back in school until I see a doctor about lowering my blood pressure
thankfully I never feel any heart pains when I smoke also Im not a heavy smoker
You should be saluting your fellow brehs and brehettes
Grew up in the projects and never smoked or drank.
Fools will demonise weed but drink a liter of henny or 12 pack of beer in a weekend which will take a bigger toll on em both short term and long term
Everything in moderation.
Also i recommend anyone who enjoys the "smoking high" but wanna be healthy and vape.
I dont fukk with electric vapes cause it don't got the same pop unless your tolerance low af. Dynavap the closest thing to smoking a joint and you use 1/3rd less weed and it gets you stupid high. A week in you gon wish you bought the shyt sooner GUARANTEED.
I definitely prefer my Dynavap to my electronic vaporizer. Just got one of these glass stems. Hits better (no carb hole) and gives you cooler, more flavorful vapor
The vortex stems are supposed to be the best but they cost too much.

Weed is not good for your heart, studies say

Smoking weed and coronavirus: Even occasional use raises risk of Covid-19 complications
The new scientific statement, published Wednesday in the AHA journal Circulation, examined existing research on the connection between cannabis and the heart.
The statement found using weed has "the potential to interfere with prescribed medications" as well as "trigger cardiovascular conditions or events, such as heart attacks and strokes," said clinical pharmacologist Robert Page II, who chaired the medical writing group for the statement.
Anyone planning to use marijuana should discuss possible risks with their health professional first, said Page, who is 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.
Today's high potency weed raises risk of anxiety and addiction, study says
"If people choose to use cannabis for its medicinal or recreational effects, the oral and topical forms, for which doses can be measured, may reduce some of the potential harms," Page said in a statement.
"It is also vitally important that people only use legal cannabis products because there are no controls on the quality or the contents of cannabis products sold on the street," he added.
Heart complications
Some of the studies analyzed by the medical group found heart rhythm abnormalities, such as tachycardia and atrial fibrillation, could occur within the hour after weed containing THC is smoked. THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the psychoactive substance within marijuana that creates a "high."
Tetrahydrocannabinol can also cause a faster heart rate, increase the heart's need for oxygen, disrupt the walls of arteries and contribute to higher blood pressure while prone, according to other studies.
Should CBD become a part of your wellness routine in these troubling times?
"Cannabis smoke contains components similar to tobacco smoke," Page said, and studies show tobacco-like increases in carbon monoxide and tar in a weed smoker's blood after smoking marijuana, regardless of the THC content.
Chest pain, heart attacks, heart rhythm disturbances and other serious heart conditions are associated with both tobacco and marijuana carbon monoxide intoxication, the statement said.
For anyone with existing heart disease, risks go up. Smoking weed has triggered heart attacks, a higher risk of strokes and heart failure in people with underlying heart disease, studies show.
In comparison, CBD, or cannabidiol, one of the other 80 chemicals in cannabis, does not give the "high" typically associated with THC. Nor does it appear to cause harm to the heart.
Addicted to the high of weed? Its calmer cousin, CBD, may help ease the disorder, study finds
In fact, studies reviewed by the medical group showed possible links to lower blood pressure, reduced heart rate and less inflammation, which is an underlying culprit of the narrowing of the arteries that can lead to heart disease and strokes.
However, despite the hundreds of products currently being sold over the counter and online, there is only one CBD-derived product approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, the group wrote.
'Urgent' need for in-depth research
There is one caveat to all these research findings: Existing studies on marijuana and the heart are "short-term, observational and retrospective studies, which identify trends but do not prove cause and effect," Page said.
Craving carbs and sleeping badly while social distancing? Here's how to cope
There is an "urgent" need for "carefully designed, prospective short- and long-term studies regarding cannabis use and cardiovascular safety," Page added.
But that's tough to do in today's climate, because marijuana is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance by the US Drug Enforcement Agency. That limits research dramatically, and the DEA should remove those restrictions so that scientists can better study marijuana's effects, the group advised.
In addition, the medical group recommended cannabis to be part of the US Food and Drug Administration's tobacco control and prevention efforts, which may mean that there would be age restrictions on who can purchase weed, retailer regulations and even excise taxes.
The American Heart Association is looking over the scientific statement and will be releasing new policy updates in coming weeks, according to Michelle Kirkwood, an AHA spokesperson.

"The public needs fact-based, valid scientific information about cannabis's effect on the heart and blood vessels," Page said.
"Research funding at federal and state levels must be increased to match the expansion of cannabis use -- to clarify the potential therapeutic properties and to help us better understand the cardiovascular and public health implications of frequent cannabis use."
Was this ever not known? Wasn't this common knowledge?
Do you really stand by that? I have the same problem, pocket vapes don’t hit like an actual blunt or J. That product has no batteryFools will demonise weed but drink a liter of henny or 12 pack of beer in a weekend which will take a bigger toll on em both short term and long term

I’m not a smoker but it’s probably from all the tar that’s in it when it’s being burned. Don’t people smoke with filters to stop inhaling all the junk in the weed?
Only when I mixed weed with tobacco (smoking blunts or when I smoked Newports)
Since I gave all that dumb shyt up, I don’t have the rapid heart beat at all.
Meditation helps too.

You train capoeira?
You know what though. Folks need to research what they're smoking or putting into their body. Theres different strains that cause different effects. The main rules to follow is that a sativa is going to make you awake, make your heart race where you feel like you're experiencing a heart attack, anxiety and etc. An indica will put you to sleep, slow your heart, calm you down and etc. Then different strains have different properties and benefits and side effects. You also have to observe yourself with that shyt too and also know how your body and mind works. If you have anxiety issues, then you might not want to mess with certain sativas or weed might not be for you.
It's the same thing with anything you put into your body. What's that saying. "Your body is a temple".
If you dont even know wtf you're smoking then that right there is the problem.
You cant just believe some shyt like this.
It's just propaganda from the doj and big pharma
