ImpactModerate impact

Abstract in brief

  • The review explains that marijuana use causes immediate effects on the heart, like increasing heart rate and sometimes lowering blood pressure, with tolerance developing after repeated use.
  • Although marijuana can trigger acute cardiac events such as chest pain and possibly heart attacks, current research shows limited evidence linking marijuana to long-term cardiovascular diseases.
  • People with existing heart conditions or at high risk should be cautious with marijuana use due to its potential to provoke serious heart-related issues, and more research is needed to better understand its long-term impact on heart health.

@_jacobeaton @JumboShrimpAds @smolin_eli @CandyTheApple @xMugenYoruichix @keeptheimani Who said smoking? There are many ways to take your medicine that don't involve inhalation. And yes, Jacob - the rise in blood pressure is temporary. But don't let science get in the way of your narrative. https://t.co/vATybg5lsm
