"Don't Smoke Pot
The only thing more pathetic than a 43-year-old guy who still gets high is a 43-year-old guy who gets high then drops dead of a heart attack. Unfortunately, if you're still smoking pot, that could be where you're heading. A new study from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston shows that inhaling marijuana quintuples your risk of a heart attack for 1 hour after lighting up. Trust us on this: Dropping dead in a 7-Eleven with a bag of Chee-tos in one hand and a Big Gulp in the other is no way to leave this world. Put down the weed."

What do you guys think - true or false?

 

Who cares, it was his life, his risks, who the hell are you to call him pathetic on the internet?

Whats so pathetic about smoking anyway?

Whats pathetic is judging other people.

*Edit, I see you were quoting the artical, I'm not trying to call you pathetic, jsut the author. : )

 

I could think that while high if your heart rate increases it could heighten the chance of a heart attack, but this would also require years of bad eating, and frankly all it shows is the guy was going to have a heart attack eventnually, probably soon anyways.

 

There really isn't any judging of people's lives going on here. It was a transition to discuss the supposed increased risk of heart attack in pot smokers.

To the OP, I'm not sure on the validity of this study. It is the first study I've ever heard of that declares this so I'm not sure. I can't seem to figure out the reasoning that it would increase the risk something with blood pressure maybe?

 

In the artical there was judgin, and I edited my post showing how I understand that.

Now shut your "ignorant mouth" before I get my zipper down.

 

No there isn't any judging of an actual person in the article. The author is using a hypothetical person to gain interest in the segment about the possibility of pot increasing the risk of heart attack. The author was just making a point.

As to the ignorant mouth comment, before you added your disclaimer to your original post it read as if you were attacking the original poster and I've adjusted my post accordingly.

 

I think years of bad eating and pot smoking go hand in hand lol.

 

Um this kinda shit pisses me off ok seriosully look what they wrote :



Dropping dead in a 7-Eleven with a bag of Chee-tos in one hand and a Big Gulp in the other is no way to leave this world. Put down the weed."

If they want to get peoples attention focus it on ALCOHOL which is a 40+year olds type of "drug" to use. I mean seroiuslly this is ridiclous, this was just some bullshit message that some guy was told to write. He was told to have a biased opinion and to critize marijuana, hes just some asshole who thought he was being clever and getting his next weeks salary but this puts a bad image on marijuana. Shit anything you do past the age of 40 can give you a heart attack, lol smoking some bud though....well you tell me

!!!And my final thought!!!!
HOW FUCKING OFTEN DO YOU SEE AN OLD GUY STONED AT 7 ELEVEN BUYING CHEETOS AND DRINKS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

 

The negative effects of alcohol are published and yes many articles in men's health regularly discuss the harm of alcohol. however, this was a new study discussing heart attacks from weed. he added a little personal slant but guess what it worked. People are talking about it. Effective journalism folks. Had he not mentioned old stoners munching out at the kwikemart thhen we wouldn't be talking about the article.

 

Yeah put down that joint, instead buy a bunch of beer and down a few 6-ers while filling up your tank, then go driving around, much better.

Personally I can think of lots of stuff more pathetic than someone with poor eating habits dropping dead from that deadly combo of Cheeto's and weed.

 

You know what causes the vast majority of heartattacks?
Stress.

You know what helps me release alot of my stress?
Weed.

 

Beth Israel? fuck that dont listen to jews they just dont wanna spend ne money so they nevery have weed. only kidding....

 

Also can't you blame the food on the heartattack?

How does weed even play into this at all?

 

the food isn't an issue here. Apparently there's something from the THC or maybe it is the smoking itself that increase the risk of heartattack. Weed is the only thing that plays into this not stress or food fallout.

 

actually, cardio vascular disease is the leading cause of heart attacks, which is mainly caused by eating, smoking, and general living habits

if you had taken the time to read the article, thats merely a name, the hospital is in boston.


Why do any of these articles even matter to you stoners? none of you will ever be in the position to make a difference, none of you will ever be the ones writing these articles or working in a enviroment where your opinion would be published let alone actually influence other peoples opinions, there is no point in continuously posting these stupid articles that wont even make readers digest BECAUSE THEY DONT MATTER!

they are merely small studies done by no name doctors because they want to get their names published.

 

You are an idiot. Your sentence on who should and shouldn't be published is a paragraph long and lacks punctuation entirely. I know doctors, lawyers and politicians who smoke. You barely know your ass from your head.

 

Thanks for coming out

 

You guna cry digital?

All you do is whine.

Blah bah blah.

 

imagine if everyone in the world smoked crack. that would be fucking ridiculous

 

I'm not too worried about it.

First of all, fuck 'Men's Health'. How are we to take anything they say seriously when they dont have any sources? Anyway, a quick search on google for " 'Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center' heart attack pot ' brought me to this (much better) article:

So yeah, if you look beyond the crap they call an article in Mens Health and look to an actual publication, you'll see that the threat really isn't that huge.
