So i gather that the weed did trigger the heart attacks, but only because of your underlying heart condition.
Weed brought it out, but nothing brought it out like weed consistently did. If I did not have the genetic cardiovascular disorder the weed would not have triggered a heart attack. But the bottom line is we all have weaknesses we are unaware of, which may be aggrevated by certain drugs. Weed brought out the heart problems, while a shot of heroin would not have.
That your heartbeat quickens, bloodpressure drops and your heart needs more oxygen is caused by THC and this particular combination in the way THC causes it, led to detrimental side effects in the guise of heart muscle asphyxiation and finally a heart attack.
If only perfectly healthy people could participate there wouldnt be significant side effects to speak of. But we are all very individual and that doesnt always agree with some drugs.

You're right, you see that alot and I had it too. Once you have tripped intensely only once your weed will never be the same again, and not always for the good.

bloodpressure dropping and a quicker heartbeat has absofuknlutley nuthing to do with THC, this happens wen your body is processing any chemincal through your body....i mean its bad and everything u had a heart attack...but dont start pulling this un researched information to put donw mary jane....so what she almost killed you...we forgive and forget thats wut lifes about...blame your condition not the drug because its cuz your not the only person like this in the world....its the same as if u have lung cancer...your not gonna be smokn cigs....and if u were gettin panik attacks and such a rapid heart rate(sounds like coke) why the fuck would u keep on smokin...you said nothing brought it out like weed ***consistantly** did?????????? your a fukn paradox in itself...

hey weeded420, i was just wondering what your exercise habits are, how often and what etc. Also, has anyone consitered or tried using a vaporizer. Ive been looking into the volcano and all my sources tell me its greaet. Other than the costly investment one must make in order to get a good vaporizer, does anyone think its worth it. Ive heard it gets you way more high than smoking the same amount of bud.

Wiccan seeker, I'm sure any inhaled plant matter would have the same effect on your heart.. If you held in cigarettes for as long as you smoked weed and did it, it would be the same, right? Or with green tea, or any plant matter. Its not the THC in the weed doing that to your heart is it? And if you say it is, there's no way to prove that its the cannabinoids and not inhaling plant matter and holding it in your lungs..

It's the THC. Lowering of blood pressure and blood sugar, rapid heartbeat, dry mouth.. all of them are side effects of THC, even if you take it orally.

so ur saying your allergic to THC pretty much thats a different case all to gether....
there are hundreds of effects ...i wouldnt call em side effects but theres munchies...dry mouth....to get to the point...weed can cause a decrease in BLOOD SUGAR due to the effect it has on the metablism...speeds up for some slows down for some....does nothing to some, it MAY cause an untable heart rate in SOME PEOPLE while under the influence... usually from ANXIETY

If your resting heartrate is 45-55 and it goes to 70 thats about one and a half times as high. Surely that's a substantial increase, even if it is naturally low by your good health.

Isnt low blood pressure a good thing? I always hear of people who have heart problems and high blood pressure. So wouldnt low blood pressure be a good thing. Also, doesnt the low blood pressure and increased heart rate and heart's oxygen needs increase only for the duration of the high? (and maybe a little longer until the high is completly gone)

The discussion was about a heart attack. I posited another possible trigger backed by medical science research. How is this off-topic?

I wasn't trying to be an ass... I was referring to the thread starter's topic, I'm genuinely interested to hear your response.
original topic:
Quote:
i was wondering if anyone out there has been experiencing any adverse health effects from smoking pot. Im more interested in the long-term adverse effects but any responce is appreciated. Also, state some specifics to your pot habbits such as how frequently you smoke it etc.

Well i don't really have any negative health problems aside from their occasional sober hallucination usually just a minor wavy movement or a irregularity in lots of lines when they are close together. I do tend to slur more words in the start of a sentence. but lately all i have been doing is smoking weed all day which has been steady at 2 to 4 times a Day for the past few months. but its not affecting my academic or mental thought processes Cu's i still have a 3.7 GPA and yeah thats not a prob for me do tend to get a bit moody when i don't have pot but its barely noticeable. Some strains of super dank sativa can make me black out if i take too big a hit and hold it for too long but if its gonna happen when I'm hitting i know the symptoms and have about 10 to 20 seconds to get things put so i wont drop them or knock them over when i black out and then regain consciousness in s blur of momentary panic from not knowing what happened. but aside from that i don't notice any loss of function in my lungs or breathing during exercise. It does tend to make my eyes feel better and things seem to have a nice crisp look to them. wow that was a rambling post but I don't care Cu's I'm higggggh and it feels soooooo gooooood!!!!!
