The American Heart Association recently published a scientific statement noting that weeds are not good for your heart.
Many people enjoy smoking or eating cannabis in various forms, but the AHA found that there are risks to your heart, lungs, and more, according to research that studies the connection between cannabis and the heart.
Deputy Chief Scientist and Medical Officer for the AHA – Dr. Rose Robertson said, “The American Heart Association advises people not to take any substance, including cannabis products, smoke or vape, because of the potential damage to the heart, lungs and blood vessels.” The AHA published a statement in its journal ‘Circulation’ that said marijuana “has the potential to interfere with prescription medications,” and may also trigger “cardiovascular conditions such as events” such as stroke and heart attacks.
Clinical pharmacologist Robert Page II spoke of the statement, saying: “If people choose to use cannabis for its medicinal and recreational effects, then the oral and topical forms, for which doses can be measured, can reduce some of the potential harm. . “
