I really wish you'd stop using the term marijuana for cannabis (the latin plant name)....Marijuana is a made-up, racist term (as I'm sure you're aware). You should refer to it as cannabis.
@@Do_Odles woke
Does CBD use orally for the control of seizures also put one at greater artery risk???
Yeah I agree desktopdoodle, after seeing the beginning of your playlist you are obviously on of those imbeciles that doesn't see or downplays the benefits of cannabis. We did not really discover the endocannabinoid system until 1992. The endocannabinoid system is throughout our bodies with CB1 and CB2 receptors in your organs including the brain and liver. The over 100 phytocannabinoids that the cannabis plant has mirror many of the cannabinoids our body naturally produces. We have not begun to understand the interactions this plant has with our bodies. Bottom line: No one has ever died because of imbibing cannabis.
What type of strokes are they talking about, ischemic or hemorrhagic ?
Cant lie, that flower in the thumbnail is beautiful.
Nothing better than going for a morning run and having a nice wake & bake after
@@HeyShaded ya but i saved tousands over the years and my lungs are happy.
i miss it alot tho and its also very beauitfull
@@gabrielahimsa4387 Is water peculation not enough to make your lungs happy? Especially if you avoid pesticide grown it's like vaping most of the time lol
@@HeyShaded Water doesn't filter but cool. Smoke coming out of a bong doesn't have less tar if that's what you mean.
@@christopherstein2024 I definitely can tell a difference though the temperature of the smoke must have an effect on how much residue is left in the lungs
so it increases my stroke risk by 1.5%, but increases my focus and enjoyment 100%, still worth it
by 20%
I’ve smoked for 20 years. Recently quit cause of all the weird symptoms I was getting. I don’t think it’s an issue if you only smoke sometimes. But, all day smoking seems to cause some issues. I started feeling like I was going to have seizure or stroke. You can 100% feel the blood pressure rise and hypertension start. Believe what you want kids…
I can relate that
I'm still smoking after 50 years. You didn't do it right. That's what I believe. Kid.
Break it down for us how can we do it right? @ANDROLOMA
@@RapScotty You're asking me how to smoke weed correctly? Are you joking?
Yeah I had similar, and I got a extremely rapid heart rate , to the point I genuinely thought I was going to die
High blood pressure, anxiety, fatigue, mood swings, increased appetite, weight gain, joint pain, irritability, forgetfulness, chest pains are the side effects that I have experienced smoking marijuana in the last 40 years.
Sorry dude but people who have never used cannabis have experienced all those issues ego cannabis is not the cause.
@@101Tuttle I've been smoking heavy for 6 years and I can tell you most of these are true if you have to much weed to go around (aka legalization and being able to grow 2kgs a year ) .
It gives me anxiety and heart palpitations no matter the amount or strain , sometimes your body needs a break.
@@101Tuttle being baised won't save you in the future
@@justinboom836 what about CBD strains
@@ultimatespidybawlz2198 What's the point then😂
1:56 All I can say to that is that when I first smoked marijuana, my heartrate spiraled out of control and the intensity of every heartbeat was so extreme that I thought I was dying. This incident gave me arrhythmia which had to be treated with surgery.
Luckily you made out of the cloud smoke.
@Lukeus Nashus It was outdoor grown Blueberry (if my then-friend was to be trusted). We smoked about a quarter-thumb sized piece of weed in a big joint together.
I had no known diseases or conditions. I didn't drink and I didn't smoke.
@@iWillWakeYouUp sorry to hear that but it is interesting that this was essentially partly induced because of a sudden excess of THC and going into total panic, which is not uncommon for inexperienced users who are suddenly consuming a very high quality high THC cannabis which they can not handle and end up in the ER having a melt down. Unfortunate the experience lead to actual physical harm but I imagine this must be incredibly rare.
@@petecabrina I am a 7 years long user and I also have started having these 140 PR BPM sessions for about an hour. Last one was when I ate a quick edible, a grilled cheese with some decarbed weed. I also felt cold, half my face numb, and cannot move my fingers at all. Even cannot talk right. I thought I was having a stroke. I know it was this pr because I have a pulse reader at home. I'm planning to only smoke a pipe from time to time, but I'm taking a long break for this to hopefully disappear.
@@Dark0ripper I think THC is a stronger psychedelic than people realise, it is can cause quite difficult somatic, psychological and even psychedelic experiences. I like to push the boundaries myself with it, just vaping and it can still cause me quite a bit of trouble, but I use breathing techniques and meditation to adjust myself to any trouble it causes. I could never try a strong edible myself because it would likely cause me issues. I would suggest trying something like the WIm Hof method, the breathing aspect, or a simple breathing techniques like oxygen advantage and with meditation with your usage. There are ways to control your heart rate while under the influence and bring yourself back to a nice calm place. It is worth trying because it might help you really enjoy your cannabis use more too.
"...non-synthetic marijuana... ummmm by which I assume they mean... mmmm marijuana"
LOL Dying 😆
There is a growing epidemic of cheap cannabis flowers wich are sprayed with synthetic drugs for better profit. This is another downside of the illegal trade and calls for legalization.
I don't understand why I just get anxiety and even paranoia when I try marijuana, why can't I enjoy it like everyone else seems to do. Maybe it's because I have tried edibles most of the time so it's more difficult to dose than if you smoke, so easy to take too much. Anyway I have so far never really enjoyed the experience, I could see too that it could afffect the heart negatively for those people who get anxiety from it.
@@GunsNRoses1123 its not worth it then
@@GunsNRoses1123 watch a youtuber named sean he might help
@@GunsNRoses1123 you're not smoking enough regularly and i use to get bad anxiety i mean my first time was complete panic attack, now ive been on/off for a few months and im able to smoke and be around weed my whole life , i still take a xanax before of course but usally smoke right after and what i did is just didnt worry at all and rode the high and the dry mouth could cause panic and shutting of the eyes but just remember all you did was smoke lol
Wish they would do some edible studies!
As much as I love edibles, I don’t use them anymore because of the added oil, and the harm it does to the Endothelium. Although! That’s not so say you can’t do the Whole Food Plant Based version. Decarbing your flower in the oven or even lightly in a vaporizer works, and then adding it to your whole food plant based muffins does the trip, I recommend drinking some oatmilk just to add a tiny bit more fat, but not too much.
I did one a couple of days ago.. the results were SHOcking!
Vaping too!
@@bakercorps indeed, I would love for them to do studies on strictly vaping, and someone that is WFPB. I use a Dynavap, half pack bowl, and I only use a tiny amount. Doesn’t seem to have a negative effect on my BP. I think the classic chemistry saying “the dose makes the poison!” Certainly applies here too.
Just use hemp seeds whole or in butter, taste better and healthier for you, contains omega 3 and plenty of minerals.
I can speak for myself: Edibles were raising my BPM and BP. Causing heart palpitations for myself more often than ever. I've officially quit for life. Was smoking for years and then switched to edibles. Edibles caused more palpitations. I just can't do it anymore.
Same
@Lukeus Nashus I know enough people, including myself, whose BP and heart rate go up consuming cannabis in any form that I'd say it is the edible, or whatever other form. It just doesn't affect everyone that way.
@Lukeus Nashus Thanks for thinking you know more about my body than I do. When on edibles my resting BPM were up and that long term affected my BP.
@@theinfiniterick6937 Yeah, you know my physiology better than I do. You're a smart person.
@@parsonsfra panic attacks do raise your blood pressure and heart rate high up, Marijuana specifically thc does raise your heart rate up but not to a noticible degree, it's mostly the anxiety and panic attack that cause the blood pressure increase and racing heart, not the weed, the Marijuana is definitely a contributing factor but not the main culprit, I've had panic attacks while sober and my heart rate was 160 and blood pressure was high
I do get a rapid heart rate after smoking Sativa, and panic attacks.
Yep, I don’t really smoke sativa.. I’ll eat sativa edibles.. smoking makes me to racey
Not enough CBD in it, and/or not organically grown and/or possibly overdosed in pesticide.
Same here. Actually kinda went through an episode last night that came outta nowhere. My heart would beat hard one goodtime and then would release adrenaline, at that point my heart rate sky rocketed. Im a seasoned smoker so it was strange. I seriously thought I was gonna have a heart attack.
@@darkallyrecordings4931 dude that happend to me today i was on the point of getting the high like, 4 bowls of a hitter and 5 min later i felt like i was going to faint
@@marcomartino54 Im used to the herb causing elevated heart rate, thats normal. what scared me was how hard it was beating. I have found that If I smoke straight thc (Vape) it does this. So now I make sure I throw cbd in the mix. Thats seems to be helping so far.
I had a stroke from consuming too many edibles. I was new to cannabis use and thought edibles would be healthier than smoking. I never felt high (something about being THC naive) but ended up with cyclic vomiting, a horrible unrelenting state of panic, and ultimately RCVS (reversible cerebrovascular spasms)s). Unfortunately, the arteries spasmed so long and so hard that they shut off oxygen to the occipital lobe of my brain, and I had a stroke. I lost a lot of vision and can't drive anymore. I think this is what he's discussing at 0:23 . I do hope people inform themselves of the risk of overdosing on marijuana gummies. It makes sense...you can overdose on ex-lax, antacids, even Flinstone chewables, but for some reason it didn't click with me to be careful.
So sorry I have pain so use medication for
Man I hope you’re doing okay it’s scary tbh when consuming cannabis I had an experience where I ate a whole 400mg edible pack and I felt so high that it wasn’t fun I felt my heart pounding against my ribs and my head thumbing from my heart beat it was to much for me and just gave me an overwhelming amount of anxiety when I was high and if anyone ever does see this I’d advise you to only eat 1 edibles and wait because higher doses of cannabis can cause opposite effects of what you intended to feel.
Wow, I'm really sorry that happened. Can you describe more about your vision loss? Is it improving? Both sides or just one?
@@matthewgardner5983 It is called cortical visual impairment. Basically, my eyes can see fine, but my brain cannot read what my eyes see. It manifests itself as blind spots in the centers of both eyes. But "blind spot" does not mean blackness; it just means whatever is there is not seen, and your brain fills in the rest of the picture. Example, when you close your left eye, you don't see blackness on the left side; you just don't see anything. It's the same with blind spots. I will look at a person and not realize I haven't seen their nose area. I once complained to my husband that I was still hungry at a restaurant, and he said, "so eat the food on the left side of your plate"..I just hadn't noticed it (I was really happy to have more sweet and sour pork!). When I first came home from the hospital, I looked at our family portrait of 6, and I could only see 2 people unless I forced myself to look for the others. After that, it dramatically improved over the next 8 months or so. I don't drive because I know I would miss a pedestrian and the lanes are hard to delineate. I can't easily read (magnification really help) which is a bummer because I'm a retired lawyer, and I was always reading about issues or for pleasure. Still, I am very fortunate to have recovered so much. Thank you for asking!
That's why it's better to live clean of drugs, I also stopped caffeine
I've been chalking up my discomfort with THC to anxiety caused chest pain / palpitations.....finally, accurate research leads me to truth.
I was getting a lot of palpitations smoking recently. I gave it up.
Today's weed ain't what we smoked in the 70's and 80's. Use sparingly.....
Stevia is an upper indica is not vape flower much better
@@markhartung ya since legalization it's gotten alot stronger thc percentage and also the big debut of thcvapes and fake smoke shop pot. Alots not good for you. Sadly I over did it and it worsened my kidney disease
When I feel imbalanced/unwell when high it helps to repeat “I just want to live in truth”. It’s hard to focus, but when I repeat that my body and mind come back into focus and my stressed heart and mind calm down. I think it helps because if I’m going to die I just want the truth because that’s the best I can hope for because I’ll be with god. It doesn’t last long so I have to keep repeating it. Not really a fun experience, so it’s best not to smoke so much weed or none at all.
This is an old comment but thanks for this advice! It's simple but it's helping me become more tolerant and neutral towards my emotions. Thanks!
Ive Been a heavy pot smoker for 30 years and one thing Ive never heard anyone talk about is after a big hit of really good pot has made me fall over and I even lost my vision for 10 seconds. I know when it's coming on and I'll drop to my knees so I don't fall. It's like standing up too fast after laying down for a full day.I know other people that this happens to also
Your blood pressure dropped
that happened to me once during the first time I tried marijuana, but then ever again. fell on my knees, lost vision, and almost passed out
I mean, it is still a drug.
Same happened to me recently after an edible , I fell asleep for 2 hours then got up too quick , must have been so relaxed my blood pressure dropped way down, anyway ended up on kitchen floor , sore arse bones for days so must have just crumbled straight down.
This has happened on 2 or 3 occasions in the past , but lots of dizzy spells when standing too quick when stoned , especially last 4 or 5 years as hash/weed/edibles are so easy to get , plentiful & strong
. I’ve seriously cut my consumption of edibles as I’m scared of
Hitting my head next time I black out
I'd really like to see vaporizing vs smoking cannabis. I vaporize my dry flower instead of smoking and I believe it would reflect much less of the negatives mentioned here.
Same here (Y).
I sure hope so.
I think in the past he had a video on different forms of consumption
Or you can just not smoke marijuana. It's like saying inhaling the smoke of burning dry oregano is bad and all you get from that is "I wish they'd see what eating non burning oregano would do".
Ummm just don't smoke it. You don't need studies for this.
Vaping has more profound mental effects as you burn a lot less cannabinoids and get about 80% THC availability vs sub 20% with bongs.
So if you have anxiety from consuming cannabis , properly dosed edibles or Rick Simpson oil will work better.
And if you need to quit for a while take some CBD isolate as that helps with the effects of high THC
Do a study on me. A hardcore vegan who smokes weed every night.
My hubby does the same lol
Same. Every. Single. Night.
I’m with ya.. I smoke before excersize.. and everything 😂 vegan for years.. I’m sure I’m doing some damage to something
@@Lettersandstuff the police officer asked how often do you smoke pot I says every comfortable chance I get.lol.
Y'all need to switch to vaping. It is waay cheaper and really great :)
I would really be interested, how much the situation changes, when you just vaporize the reefer.
Deaths due to marijuana are non existent. I would say no. I smoked for at least a decade through the late 90s and early 2000s. Still here.
Any heart problems at all or just have the most stable weed which is good thc and cbd ratio.
And you would know if someone had a stroke or heart attack after getting stoned… no one would know…
That’s because when someone has a stroke or heart attack that is the cause of death. Nobody asked how much weed they consumed.
I smoke a half a day how much u smoke ? Cuz I feel like it’s slowly killing me.
i was smoking it heavily, everyday, i had an ischaemic stroke which has ruined my life, be very careful..
Wow thats terrible. What was the symptom progression you experienced?
keep experiencing that everytime i smoke weed mixed w grabba I’m experiencing it now honestly chest pains that radiate to my stomach, legs, back & pelvis it’s so uncomfortable and I keep thinking ima have a heart attack but weed makes me feel like a better version of myself, rn i’m trying to eat healthy I just came from a checkup w the doctor and now I have a appointment for professionals to check inside my body in 2 months may the lord protect my good soul and keep me alive then. Can you describe your symptoms when u smoked weed, and how you feel now? I’m only 19 and I feel like my health is only fucked up whenever I smoke weed and i’m a basketball player
Me too
@@TrenchScarzwhat did u experience I have been feeling heart palpitations and I still feel them even thought I’ve stop smoking can I get a ln update on your situation
@@user-cs5jf1ko7j alright right now I got back into smoking heavy I went sober for 4 months from the 1st of January to 4/20. When I went sober nd even shortly before that I was experiencing a terrible thick dark colorish phelgm (mucus) I was coughing up everytime I wake up. It seem like it got worse when I was sober, but my 1st month of getting sober I was changing my diet and exercising more bc I found out I became a pre diabetic and I understood my diet and all the greasy foods and abusing weed and grabba & barely eating much contributed to that. So the 1st month the pain was unbearable I thought I was really gonna catch a heart attack. The heart papulations was terirble and unbearable I thought being sober was gonna ease it up. It really started to go away 2-3 months being sober bc December I lost 15 lbs bc I got sick nd I got a terrible low blood pressure frm but I regained it by eating 4 times a day I haven’t always consistent but for but I put an effort. I have a very healthy body, I built but not built like that i’m slim 5’10 and I hoop a lot everyday so I aided it from going away. But since I started back smoking I only notice I get chest pains when I dont eat all and i’m very hungry nd when I smoke I get very hungry so I gotta keep eating. I still cough up to mucus but its not bad how it used to be. Also I had to wear a zio patch for 2 weeks in late march to early april to see whats going w my heart, they came back w the results 2 days ago nd told me theres nun wrong nd I have no complications but I wore the patch when I was already starting to feel better.They told me they only saw a complication and a litte big of arrhythmia for 1 second. But overall i’m fine execpt if I don’t eat or have any solid food around. Deep down inside I really think I have Hiatal Hernia
After smoking I got into hospital because of stroke symptoms and seizures, tics, an exploding blood pressure and tachycardia. Since then nobody can convice me that it's safe... and since then i don't touch it.
Smoking it certainly does something to the internal organs. If you examine a water pipe that has been used for smoking pot you will see residue tar build up. Imagine that residue in your lungs and arteries.
yes true, but it's not that simple, a bong isn't a biological organ with cilia designed for filtering and cleaning the lung, so the resin and tar don't just stay in your lungs, when I spend a day in London with my mask on, I take it off there's visible dirt on the mask where my mouth and nose were from all the shit that's in the air, your lungs are designed to clean themselves, fortunately otherwise everyone in a city would be dead from the petrol fumes
Dude, the inside of your body doesn't get covered with residue.
@@noremac0575 yes it does unfortunately that’s what Tar is
@@noremac0575 yes specially your lungs
Can you to a video about the good and the bad of smoking, vaping, and EATING edible marijuana?
He would have to wait until someone do a study
Can still contribute to heart issues according to some other vids I watched.
I stopped smoking after I kept getting sharp heart pains shorty after smoking

@@TrenchScarz have you tried to stop smoking? I am having the same heart pain and abdomen pain even after stopping smoking. I would say its been about a full week since i have smoked and im not noticing a difference. I also dont know if weed was contributing to the heart pain or not bc ive been trying not to smoke.
@@TrenchScarz i am also 19 and workout. I am not overweight or unhealthy
@@isnipe_toxics_5998 Yeah bro I ain gon lie, ima tell another story, back in Sept I caught Covid and I kid u not this was probably the longest i’ve ever went without smoking since I started back when I was 16, while I had covid and I stop smoking for 21 days I felt terrible every time I smoked while I had covid a couple days before I decided to take breaks, I was get chest pains and while I stopped I was getting chest pains and and I knew it wasn’t just the weed something is wrong w my insides, i’m still lookin for answers every other day and I just hope the lord keep protecting me, my chest pains are not as bad now but my lower back feels strained and the bloating still goes on when i’m smoke, I smoke more at the night bc of work and I sometimes experience episodes of the pain and at times it stops but now I really feel more of a testicle pain one side, I think testicular tursion or epdidymitis I have or something more serious, I hope your health is gucci and in shape too bc I started going to planet fitness since it’s free for 19 y/o’s rn i’m just really tryna get my body and health up, sometimes I have slip ups but I really be tracking my calories and what I eat fr, I been tryna switch up my diet crazy and eat healthier
I’m really not overwright either i’m 5’10 155 lb’s with a decent physique i’m just just tryna work on my abs and losing fat around that area, I really was just tryna bulk up so I can cut body fat and get more fit, i’m already fit in the upper body and i’m starting to get more noticeable gains sometimes I have self esteem and think I’m frail but I been started to love myself more
Eat a plate full of alfredo at Olive Garden and your heart attack risk goes up 50 fold. You don't get that glorious buzz, you don't sleep any better that night, you don't wake up the next morning feeling refreshed. Life is short. Expand your mind, learn compassion and empathy, change your values, like jazz music. I feel sorry for people who live their whole lives and never get high.
What about us who have heart disease and have pain 24/7 per day and 100 other symptoms how can i expand my mind with pain tell me man ?
@@kimberlytippen4436 Better ask your real doctor. You're 30 years too late for this.
@@kimberlytippen4436 Here's some actual information that's true unlike what we have in this video here, a masquerade of no strong data replete with a repetitive drone that something is wrong with "marijuana". Greger doesn't even know what to call it. The plant has a name ya know. It's called Cannabis. smfh Here's a real source right here on RUclips:
Cannabis and the Heart- April 18 2019 on the Cardiac Rehab Alumni Channel. You're welcome.
Totally agree with your viewpoint, but eating something unhealthy increases your chance of heart disease in the long run, while getting too high can make you have a heart attack then and there. I've had three times now where I thought I was dying from getting too high, the heart palpations were that strong, I was more exhausted then running a marathon and I was just trying to stay conscious lying on the coach. We gotta understand that not everyone reacts the same to weed and some people just straight up have weak hearts and can't handle these experiences and that there is such a thing as TOO MUCH.
@@x10018ro No, eating that dinner will kill you in a matter of hours because for hours after you eat it, your blood clumps together. Keep that up for years, and eventually that last meal will do you in. "Feeling like you're going to have a heart attack" is subjective and can mean anything, and in this case, nothing close to what it actually means to feel like having an actual heart attack, and thus has no bearing on the analogy. I've had a few instances like you've described myself and that doesn't verify that I react differently than other people, I can react different than myself, 0.1% of the time. Simultaneously it's like putting all cannabis in a box and treating it all the same too. That's ridiculous. But you're right in the major points including the TOO MUCH part. That's very likely what you're describing. Too much, too fast. The same thing happens to people with alcohol, cigarettes, and coffee.
Anyone else enjoying all these salty potheads? ItS nOt ThE WeeD iM VrY FiT AnD i SmOkE aLl DaY
one point is true though, they NEED studies on edibles not smoke
Has anyone experienced arm numbness after smoking or few days later ? Or even headaches
Yes, My first stroke I experienced left arm numbness/weakness, then my second stroke was facial numbness. Bad headaches were a product of the stroke itself.
@@matthewgardner5983 what was your age brother?? I hope your doing better, may u be blessed and have strength.
Yes me and I stopped. Numbness in left side of chest and arm is sign of heart attack
Arm numbness? Never.
Headaches?
Only before I purged my weed of water soluble sugars, and plant foods soaking and shaking pulverized weed in a coffee grinder, adding very hot water to it, pouring off the dark orange cough inducing liquid down the drain, the wrapping it in a coffee grinder, wrapping it up with 4 or 5 wraps of a fresh clean Tshirt, and standing on it, to dry it dry enough to to soxhlet the purged oil out, then the euphoric fun is smeared on small screens and tokes are dabbed at will :-)
I don't believe toking unpurged of water soluble weed is as healthy as weed that has been purged...
First of all, any study that says the words "non synthetic marijuana" loses all credibility before it even begins. At least Dr. G saw that bizarre statement, yet went on to take the study seriously anyway? That's already proof they don't know what they're talking about. How vegans rife with their own ideology wound up the ones falling into this hole I'll never know. Alright vegans, time for you to weigh in here in these comments before you put me to sleep with the boredom of your ignorance: What do you use to catch a buzz?
We see you cyclops your day of destruction draws near, burn the boho and take no prisoner's
With today’s medical dispensary’s THC potencies, smoking a whole joint would be crazy. That’s like a months worth of weed for me.
Ya it's gotten along stronger
Yeah i put about 5% weed and 95% tobacco in my joints and still get really high from just one!
All of this about ‘marijuana’ but no mention of anyone’s lifestyle or diet. Sounds biased to me
@@b_vegan if they taught us all about nature’s medicine they’d all be out of a job. Facts
One factor they should've accounted for is munchies in the epidemiological studies. Stoners aren't going to be eating cucumbers and carrots when they get the munchies...
So if regular pot smokers eat more junk food, it could be an important variable.
@@b_vegan Greger doesn't do the studies lol. why blame Greger for presenting the studies done to us (just like with food health) if their isn't a study about weed combined with diet then there is nothing for him to present to us. Would you like him to just speak with speculation? that never been his style. He researches the study and lays it out for us. simple as that. Come on now, your bias is showing.
Exactly.. bunch of meat eaters studied. I smoke before I workout.. been doing it 25 years, vegan for 5.. I’m old and strong and have good endurance.. smoke all day
@@b_vegan the answer to your question lies in the response lol. Also i would like to point out that typical regurgitated statement that zero people have died from cannabis is not true/embellished. But again i do not care to go down the argument of biases but to simply stat the fact of study vs speculation about an individuals stance on the matter (which is ironic that you are claiming speculation of others when you are doing it yourself). You sir or mam are on the side of speculation. I happen to agree there is absolutely more information needed and i also believe there is likely a correlation between the diet of weed smokers and more detailed studies should be done... but guess what? THERE IS NO STUDY ON THAT SO IT IS CURRENTLY SPECULATION. let that sit in your noggin a bit before your biased opinion takes over with the countless regurgitated speculation thrown around in the pro weed (and those against weed) community. Until there is actually studies out there testing these things you propose, then sorry.. but you are a person of speculation and a person who is blaming Greger from presenting the studies to us (which this one so happens to be one you don't like). Greger believes in a plant based diet because all the studies done say so.. also you claim to have followed him for years.. if so then you must have seen weed and car crashes? the studies showed smoking weed actually reduced car accidents and fatalities. Hmm if Greger was so against weed why did he not brush over that part and only focused on the part of that study that said yes weed causes more accidents than sober? Turns out when weed is available it reduced drunk driving ultimately lowering car crashes. this is a rhetorical question btw. I spent enough time on this. Believe your bias is you want and push your dislike on the study to the one who is just laying out the information for us, good luck with that.
Cover more edibles or tinctures
Yes, smoking and vaping is also very different. Could be that smoking/combustion is the problem not actually what's in the joint.
Just don't smoke. Inhaling smoke is bad
Finally! Marijuana is not the safest drug mushrooms are.
facts
You misspelled medicine.
I don't get how people have crazy reactions to weed. I never get paranoid, or have any weird heart issues. No joint pain nothing. I accidentally ate 500mg of edibles yesterday, no effect, nothing. I can only get high from vaping dry herb.
Yeah im conflicted i dont know how to feel i got (or had) bad asthma and ive been smoking alot and i never need my inhaler or have breathing issues
Like any herb, it effects people differently. My daughter and I are both allergic to it. It breaks me out. When I was younger, it was external inflammation. Now, it effects my throat more so than when I was in my twenties. Vaping it is just as severe. So I tried gummies. Well duhh. That not only effects my throat but my stomach, as well. It greatly reduces my breathing; so much so that I decided to do a search this evening on its effects on the heart. Now I'm even more curious. 🤔
For thousands of people every year, the first symptom of heart disease is death. So I would be careful about equating the absence of symptoms with the absence of damage.
Holy cow marijuana users are fragile. Yes, asking for further clarification is good. No, this video isn't somehow personally attacking your life choices.
People hate hearing bad things about their habits.
for real scrolling through these comments with so many closed minded people but when ever its about food health they bow down to him.. I don't know how they can't see just how biased they are.
Stop generalizing people.
Potheads are not the most intelligent group. I had a heart attack from smoking too much weed, and you can’t even warn people because they are too ignorant and addicted.
This video begins and ends on a bullshit premise. It is pointless to do a literature review of politically motivated studies, whose purpose is to create fear and false narrative. This review is not a gnats ass from other studies which attacked cannabis as a 'gateway drug,' and a cause of socially aberrant behavior. 'Fragile?' - has anyone accused your social stimulant of leading white women to Jazz and sex with brown skinned men? Find the proper perspective and this crap would piss off Jesus
Smoke from any source raises cardiovascular risk, and yeah anything that affects heart rates etc. against the typical American diet is bound to cause trouble. Eat whole food, plant-based, choose edibles and vapes
Edibles can kick harder than a flower. Vaporizing a bud is better.
Considering how my heart would pound when high, ya I can believe it causes heart attacks
Yes !!!!!
I had a heart attack from smoking too much weed, and it was the scariest moment of my life. It cause my arteries to narrow over time since I smoked a lot and for many years.
😂 facts
Willie Nelson and Snoop Dog must be immortals.......
Or the people warning us against weed are lying again.
The probable association with arterial age and chronic cannabis consumption is probably due to all the Cheetos they eat during the munchies. It's also easy to avoid the potential concomitant effects of multiple drug issues; by doing cocaine on alternate days from smoking cannabis. To avoid any confounding factors one should only drink alcohol while driving.
That’s false. I had a heart attack cause just by smoking weed. I didn’t do any other drugs and no I didn’t sit any Cheetos all day. THC narrows your arteries and causes damage to your arteries. You’re in denial.
That wasnt a factor for it. Your body is dehydrated when your high making your heart pump harder and faster. Hydration is the key.
It's true , I have a stroke almost every time I smoke cannabis ,
@@omarjassar4650 how bruh did you go to a doctor
@@YsmirGames I smoke , I feel frisky , no one around , I have a stroke and be done with it , till next time 😔😔😔
If you already have angina I would maybe eat it instead of smoke it. Anything that raises your blood pressure or slow circulation can potentially lead to a stroke or heart attack if you also have fat circulating in your arteries.
No, eating it is just as bad. THC causes heart attacks and other heart issues. It doesn’t matter if you take it in an edible or if you smoke it. This is why people should not not be taking medical advice online. This is why I speak to cardiologists and get the actual facts instead of a bunch of stoners who are in denial.
Bliss, fun, euphoria, n a special appreciation for life, sporting my smile ;-)
An entire joint- isn't that a TON of THC and smoke compared to what an average user would do?
Whatever you decide to introduce into your body should be done with respect for your mental and physical health. Marijuana is a chemical, like all chemicals that can both effect a benefit and also harmful effects and symptoms.
They have edibles now that many non smokers take. I do believe that the body can absorb more canabinoids with edibles and I do believe it constricts or dries out mucous membranes to the point of causing pain and discomfort especially when combined with other medications that also dehydrate like antihistamines. I been thinking it is not the wonder drug it is claimed to be,
The Landrace weeds are dying out meaning were loosing the important purpose of wonder drug.
I was smoking one day a gram of hash in the evening and everything was alright. Next day some Nepal hash. Just one small joint.
Damn, pain in hart. Palpitations.
But I use a lot of rapé on the side. Powder tobacco to put up the nose. So nicotine but no smoking.
Hart went up to 120 bpm. According to the hospital no signs of stroke.
Nicotine is vascular constricting. A good dose of paranoia, too much working. All set for bad you’d say.
I’m sensitive to everything nowadays.
Can you describe more in details of ypur symptoms bro pls
@@TrenchScarz well I say it’s paranoia.
The symptoms are paranoia, feel of dying, heart racing, trouble breathing, fear, fear. Something I cannot get out of. My mind is telling me not to do it anymore.
I think the smoking part is also letting me know it’s bad for my health but I think it’s more. I cannot let myself go. I gotta keep myself sharp. I haven’t tried eating hash.
When I do other psychedelics I’m panicking nowadays. And I’ve done lots. Perhaps too much.
I’ll give myself a rest for a while.
Smoking I’ll probably never do again because my health doesn’t let me.
But psychedelics I will. Not now. I’m too fearful. A little later in life.
@@zilveroog Try some other plants to relax...
Thanks for the info, i love when dr gregor leaves his usual diet advice and comments on general health issues!
No it improved my heart condition, my memory, sleep like baby many things very good for me as long I don’t mix with any pharmaceutical drugs. That may interfere that you aren’t aware of. No heart pain anymore for 9 years. Best choice I made.
Careful use of marijuana, with lower THC and equal CBD, reduced my heart rhythm problems. Eventually they stopped and the ongoing consumption of such weed never provokes the arrhythmia.
I smoked that damn evil crap from 2001 till 2005 and casually till 2006, almost gave up and smoking a puff once in a while till 2008. The best thing ever happened to me in life is when I stopped to smoke that crap. I'm now 36 healthy cause always been high level sport even with a drop during my stoner/loser period. My friends who kept smoking, are now bunches of weirdos, not counting the ones who went and are still into cocaïne. Weed is thrown voluntarily on the market to destroy youngsters and society.
This goofy dude saying like Micheal (GTA V) because the way you say is basically “No wonder this country is screwed.”
Just look at Bob Marley and the Jamaicans living their best whilst weed consumption. I have the landraces that can make my day well without any problems.
Settle down! Your entitled to your opinion but that doesn’t mean that your right
@@JuicyMullet801 Who? me or the Angslinger’s little henchman? I may not be right but I’m trying to explain so much facts as much as I can.
@@EnergyWRLD other guy
I was healthy everytime i went to the doctor for 25 years of smoking everyday. I have now quit and now i have high blood pressure and God knows what else. Take it how you want but, i was healthier smoking weed.
There's one confounding variable that I'm wondering whether the researchers accounted for, which is: munchies. People who smoke get hungry, often going for the easy, junky options. Is the risk independent of diet quality and other such characteristics? I expect that a typical stoner diet might include an abundance of pizza and potato chips and cupcakes.
I'm not a smoker myself, btw, so it's not like I'm looking for some excuse to make smoking more acceptable to my psyche, but it seems like an obvious possible confounder.
BMI was accounted for in some studies, there was no one greatly overweight.
I had a heart attack at a young age with no underlying factors, except for the fact that I smoked way too much weed. Cardiologist confirmed that weed caused this and not the food.
@Lukeus Nashus correct but is that what most people do? No they reach for the easiest option.
@@__fromthebaytola You consumed way too much and your body is dehydrated when feeling high making your heart will pump harder which increase bpm
*I expect that a typical stoner diet might include an abundance of pizza and potato chips and cupcakes...*
LOL. No. Just, no. Get out more.
5:42 This is relevant data for certain groups of the population like Peter Pettigrew!
my heart beat per minute was around 160 when i smoke yesterday. im freaking done with it lol..weed is just not for me
What about the testicular cancer risk of cannabis? If someone had an undecended testicle as a child, is using cannabis very risky?
When someone uses “pot” to describe cannabis, they’re typically bias against it. Cannabis is the most medicinal plant we have along with being commercially very important. While I live a WFPB lifestyle and respect Dr. Greger’s nutritional lectures, he is the last person I would listen to regarding cannabis. The MD to listen to is Dr. Bonni Goldstein. She’s treated over 12,000 patients using cannabis. Specifically on respiratory issues, you should research Dr. Donald Tashkin from the UCLA School of Medicine. He has been researching the respiratory response from cannabis for decades.
Been smoking since I was 12 one thing today's pot is over 20 thc sometimes 30 back in day u lucky if u get 10 percent... In moderation no problem daily use it's just too strong although I never experienced no heart issues just weight loose
I've been a habitual marijuana user for years. I still feel that it is the safest "drug" out there. I do notice that vaping causes less lung irritation than smoking, however. I have used cigarettes as well, and feel that those are still worse for my body overall. Plus, they smell bad and usually have a bunch of chemical additives. 🙃 Thanks for all your videos! Been a fan since forever!
hey I smoke bud too, but mushies are the safest
@@ebtsoby how tho ?
@@Opana223 Its not toxic to the Body ur literally eating a mushro
Smoking concentrates can be the most dangerous which heart issues.
@@Opana223 it’s true, magic mushrooms are the safest drug, even safer than cannabis.
I'm curious how much the agrssive coughing plays a part after smoking
@Max Ragged that's actually really awesome to hear! I'm happy for you😁 dabing probably don't help my situation 😂
Do a video on vaping marijuana vs smoking a joint vs edibles, I could not find much researches on this
Thanks!
What about using a dry herb vaporizer to extract only the essential oils from the cannabis flower without the harmfull toxins from smoking?
The smart switch 👍
There was a study done recently that said it will still increase your risk for stroke and heart attack. But its very heard to determine what risk that is given what we eat, exercise, and BMI. They said if you still want to do it, do small amounts 1-2 a week and there wasnt a change to measure.
I'm glad to see the oldschool intro/ outro again!
If you feel like it’s unhealthy for you.. don’t smoke. Becuase it’s not for everyone. Don’t be afraid to quit. I regret not quitting sooner. It’s caused me bad problems. Thankful for the push of my wife to stop. I love it when i didn’t get the affect. But please please…. Stop if you feel problems when smoking…
How much GMO corn syrup & soy is in the diet ??? Eat better food ! As a shopper it is VERY HARD to buy clean food , & when you can it cost a lot . Best way is make your meals with clean products .... don't use water from Flint MI just sayin .
However, I do remove plant foods by vacuum purging in water... And remove plant particles by extraction of the hash oil to remove the couphy plant particles, and dab screens with bud underneath the screens to absorb any hash oil that drips through the screen and allows full burning for a full toke that would otherwise be lost, due to the problem of hash oil dripping through the screen, sticking to the side of my pipe, instead of gifting me up with euphoric delight of every moment of the day :-)
I wonder if I exhale the smoke into my carbon monoxide detector if it will sound the alarm? Anyone?
Pretty sure it will.
I had total pain yesterday, a headache and my eye also hurt ... I smoked a joint and all the pain stopped immediately after 10 minutes ... can medicine give wrong conclusions about this? ...
I wonder if having lower blood pressure than normal would benefit from the temporary increase of blood pressure from cannabis.
Watch your limit
Hmm, I am thinking it’s time I slow down a bit 😬
I think a lot of it also comes down to inhalation method, some folks are always looking to take the hits that cause a lot of coughing. Plus smoking is no bueno, but being able to safely Vape with the Dynavap, and the tiny amount that it takes, makes me feel so much better, plus I can run so much easier now.
Same for me. That’s what I got out of this vid.
I'm so glad this video was put together and I am about to stop smoking weed 👌🏼 for sure! Just from knowing how much damage it causes alone
Ur dumb for doing it all the time I do it once a month
This is brilliant thank you
The blood CO content from smoking marijuana vs a cigarette may also be related to the fact that cigarettes, for the most part, are filtered. I wonder what difference would be realized when rolling marijuana in a machine with filtered cigarette tubes.
1:45 in I literally put the joint down. Lately about and hour after smoking pot I have a balloon effect in my head. Such pressure to in the sinus I'm guessing. They need better warning labels
Bull. Since the 60's I've NEVER heard of anything close to that.
Quit it. I know revenue is down. You may have to find a real job.
Strokes bc BLOOD PRESSURE
The title should be: "Does Marijuana SMOKING Cause Strokes and Heart Attacks?" There are other (safer?) ways to use it.
How about a video on CBD oil? Also marijuana vs hemp CBD.
I have Aortic Stenosis and have been smoking heavily for around 6 years now. Granted I do have a regular murmur from time to time from it, all I get is the munchies and giggles lmao.
honestly I smoke out of a bong . Don't do paper or tobacco leaves I don't want anything added besides my hemp wick
It’s not worth the risk still smoking ❤❤
Some of us aren't so weak.
I turned 65 last month (October) I stopped smoking tobacco cigarettes period in my late twenties and early thirties when of childhood friends that smoked in there adult years are 💀 dead. Overcomer of Two heart operations and minor currently taking no medications…ATFD #Alcohol,#Tobacco #Food,#Drug Addictions Biochemical addictions #Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!.
@@FredBushjr I turn 64 tomorrow. May we both enjoy good health and long lives for the rest of our days. 🙂
I do smoke underwater. Whether you smoke or no you still die one day. Smoke filtered by water brings no harm and is really good. Better to smoke disturb nobody...... And me in my own world. Soooo niiiiicccceee. Smoke underwater.
I'd like to see what they define a "marijuana cigarette" or joint as in their studies, as both are marketed and known to contain tobacco, sometimes more tobacco than marijuana. Whereas if they swapped them for a blunt or smoked through a bong, two methods that don't have tobacco at all, I'd be pretty confident in seeing different results
I don't smoke so it would be lot more interesting to see studies with only marijuana and No tobacco, we already know the effects of tobacco. Then it would be easier to find out too if it's the marijuana or rather the smoking itselfthat can cause issues.
Please don’t be in denial. I had a heart attack that was caused just by weed alone. I was young and had no risk factors except for smoking way too much weed. The cardiologist confirmed the THC itself causes heart problems which you could find out with a quick Google search.
I smoke medical cannabis and it makes feel great and total relaxation
What about chemical drugs that comes from pharmaceutical companies.
@@anthonyrose6686 just read the warning label sheet provided by the pharmacists. especially the BlACK BOX warning .
what about medical cannabis? i usually mix my thc with cbd so it evens out..
Does not matter.
I love this channel!
I don't get it.
In the immortal words of Joker from Batman 89' "If you gotta go, go with a smile."
Maybe it's because of the munchies.
Can't we all just get a bong
It is used OFTEN in combination with alcohol or COCAINE???
Yes
Right? Like how often? Need details.
All of a sudden all the pot heads in the comment section sound a lot like meat eaters who refuse to accept any of the research on plant based diets lol
please do another video on CBD its decrease the infract size when given during an heart attack and reduce the risk of having one in the first place !!! its also a very potent antioxidant, CBD attenuate cardiac dysfonction and fibrosis too !!
There is also a political correctness factor, in some jurisdiction pathologist are under pressure not to report marijuana.
The mere thought of inhaling anything is repulsive
What about eating?
Oh yes...
Cannabis in combination with lots of carbs and sugar will do it!
The same as 'Don't blame the butter for what the bread did'
If you smoked dried spinach it'd be much worse for you than smoking -marijuana- Cannabis.
Willie Nelson looks good for 90 yrs old he smokes everyday ,
If you buying from clonic of course. Swisher tobacco give me anxiety. But if i smoke from a bong i don't get anxiety
Two heart operations and minor stroke currently no medications Stop smoking in 20 twenties Why risk it period
