I wasn't sure exactly where to post this, but I was hoping some of you out there may offer me some advice. I used to smoke almost constantly, I'd go through an ounce in a few days. Well, I moved away and alas I had no more weed at my disposal. So, I went without it for a while. Long story short, I developed High Blood Pressure and whenever I smoked afterward it makes my heart race and I guess I kinda fear a heart attack. What strains could I smoke that would have less of that effect and has marijuana ever caused a heart attack?

As you know I am an Electrical Engineer. I had decided a few Months ago to perform an Experiment with about 15 of my peers. These are other Engineers that I work with.

No no no. I have given up both drugs. Nicotine was hell; absolute torture to quit. Had to use patches ultimately. Cannabis on the other hand was incredibly easy. I often have breaks (one lasted 5 years) and am always amazed at how easy it is to quit. The only problems I had was a difficulty sleeping on the first night. I would love to see the details of this one. 12 subjects who were cannabis and tobacco users? hmmmm EDIT oops forgot to provide link http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/news/world...2090362518.html

When reading about the biochemical effects of smoking a cone in a paper by the D.E.A. It said that within the first 30 minutes and for about 30 minutes you will have an increased heart rate and an increased respiration rate which would then settle back to normal. I have been told by medical health care professionals that cannabis is a Mood enhancing chemical (not narcotic) I then wondered about whether some people might confuse the increased pulse and respiration with the flght or flight reaction, and become paranoid trying to figure why their bodies felt that way when there was no threat, with the mood enhancing effects of cannabis added, become paranoid about being …
