Well also, I had a heart attack in the past. The doctors thought it was from weed, they said I was very high. Also they said that weed made the veins in my brain thinner than a hair.

what the hell , do you smoke cigs?? thats some scary stuff man,

I used to, but I quit. Then after I got out of the hospital I did for a short period of time. After the heart attack they put me in a psych ward to study my brain.

bro, i think this is muscular spasms, around the heart. I get these pains too sometimes but never pointed the finger at the ganja i smoke. I also smoke ciggs., and only get this pain every few months. I never talked to a doctor about it. The thin veins thing is from lack of oxygen to the blood stream i beleive which is caused by poor health or dieting. Heart attacks are most commonly caused by restriction of blood flow and oxygen through veins.

Not a doctor but hope that helps!!! Good luck to ya'!!

Yeah your probably right, it happens more often than that for me. The only way they found out about the weed was from a blood test they did.

Right, but of course the doctors are going to tell you to stop smoking pot, it's their job to follow the way of the government and say how bad pot is for you. I haven't been to a doctor in 12 years and have been perfecly healthy, not even a snifflin' cold! Trust me pay more attention to your diet and excercising, and the pains should go away. A good cardio workout every day is good for blood circulation in your body. But if you have heart problems from the past, make it a light workout untill you have made your body comftorable to the acceleration of blood flow while you excercise.

My physician is aware that I'm a cannabis user. No sense in lying about. Doctors are there to help you, not hinder you in any way. Sometimes they need to be reminded of that. They draw my blood twice a year and so far, he's never been judgemental. I'll just find a new physician. I'm gonna approach him for a medical marijuana card as soon as our new law goes into effect on April 4, 09.

They must be smoking something (like crack) then, because cannabis dilates blood vessels and airways.
