smoking massive ammounts of marijuana MIGHT be bad for you

Quote:

Heavy marijuana use can boost blood levels of a particular protein, perhaps raising a person's risk of a heart attack or stroke, U.S. government researchers said on Tuesday.

The marijuana users in the study averaged smoking 78 to 350 marijuana cigarettes per week, based on self-reported drug history, the researchers said.

But Mirken said: "Even if you take this finding at face value, it's not at all clear that it has any relevance to the real world because there is still no data showing higher rates of mortality among marijuana smokers. If this was a significant cause of cardiovascular disease, where are the bodies?"

one serious risk associated with marijuana use is the effect it has on people with weak or not otherwise healthy hearts. so basically, if you plan on being a heavy toker, do yourself a favor and exercise once in awhile. your body will thank you.
