This one is good.
I heard on the news that some reasearchers had discovered that middle-aged pot smokers run a five-fold increased risk of heart attack. Seems pot increases heart rate and that we tend to be overweight and sedentary.
No shit!
Simple solution;
Keep carrots and celery around. No chips. If your weed’s good enough, you can convince yourself that carrot sticks are actually Doritos. And get out once in a while. Walk to the freakin’ 7-11.
To tell the truth, I haven’t smoked pot for over three years, because of my job, and I’ve gained weight and get out less than before I quit. Oh, well.
Peace,

This is the study that makes the papers. The one about marijuana preventing brain cell damage after a stroke doesn’t. Oh well.
Anyway, to summarize the study that mangeorge is referring to : the risk of heart attack in men over forty is 4.8 times higher in the first hour after smoking pot than during periods of non-use. The risk drops to 1.7 times normal in the second hour. As a comparison, your risk is two times greater than normal when exercising or having sex. It’s 21 times greater in the first hour after cocaine use.
