My grow partner has a pace maker. I think his heart naturally only works ~20% as well as it should. I'm not sure about his cholesterol. I'm going to assume it is up. Has anyone read anything good (not just "good" news) about MJ and heart disease/problems??? I read the medicinal strain list. Saw nothing with heart. Do you know of a particular strain that people use for heart problems? P.S. - A strain that's indica dominant in growth, but gives a very very up high?
I dont think any kind of smokeing would be advisable for a person with major heart problems. Unless maybe he is useing a vape so he is not getting the effects of the smoke. :beerchug-2: Teamster6
I figured the same. I'll rephrase. Has there been any studies, or articles about the effect of THC or one of the other forty cannibinoids on the heart???
I know of no particular study on heart disease Wiz. I would look into edibles for him. Smoking is a definite no-no. Something to consider is mj does lower blood pressure. You're not going to want a Sativa dom. Anxiety/ Paranoia can really increase the heart rate. You need to some couchlock indica to keep the body and mind totally relaxed. Also, there are 72 known CBD's, not 40. We had known of 66, and last year (or the year before) they found 6 more. Good luck in your research. I hope you find the answers you are looking for.
There's a few in Granny Storm Crow's links but everything I've seen concerning cardio research is atherosclerosis, metabolic or cardiovascular hypoxia. Even then I'm more than a bit skeptical. MMJ is an amazing drug but it can't do everything like some folks claim. Since your messing with a pacemaker and some form of arrhythmia I'd be more than a little cautious doing anything outside the norm. good luck Wiz,
