People that say you you can die from pot, hasn't smoked pot before. Plain and simple, not going to happen.
just 2 said to be HEALTHY ADULTS.. who knows they could have been up for weeks smoking crack.. before it all happened.. who knows.. but I don't believe cannabis is dangerous to all.. if anything maybe someone could be allergic to it.. but not die from it because it was toxic... unless someone is selling some moldy or powdery mildew nugs.. maybe. but not from clean flowers.
Disclaimer: This is an anecdote pertaining only to myself on these particular occasions.
My record keeping confirms my feelings of heart palpitations after vaporizing 95% THC rocks.
THCx2 says the book, followed by nitro, nitro, nitro. Twice this has happened. The first nitro goes in before 100 BPM, the next by 120, the third by 150. Single nitro events after THC are recorded on average of three times a week.
I average about fifteen nitro pills a month. It took over four nitro's once, the doctor convinced me to accept a stent when I arrived at the hospital.
If I do not quit I am pretty sure it will be marijuana that kills me.
Well, first off, I'm sorry to hear that you have heart conditions. I really hope that you focus on your health, as heart conditions are very serious.
With that said, it would not be "marijuana" that kills you. I'm familiar with nitro as my uncle had to take it as he had heart problems, and as I'm sure you know, it's not good to have to take them so many times. If you KNOW that vaporizing 95% THC rocks is causing you issues, why do you keep doing it? If it's due to tolerance, as unpleasant as it may be, take a tolerance break for at least a week, preferably two, the first few days suck the most. I guarantee after that tolerance break, you can smoke flower and be high as shit. A tolerance break, while unpleasant, is ALOT less unpleasant than if you were to die by doing something that you know and acknowledge is harmful to you.
I have nothing against concentrates at all, but if regular strains of flower cause heart issues for some people, especially some sativas, at 10-25% THC, obviously a concentrated form of 95% THC that you're vaporizing is going to be so much stronger, which you know.
I know death is something that we all have to one day experience, that's just reality, but it still makes me sad when people die. Especially if they know it. I don't know if you suffer from depression, if so, feel free to PM me, but please man, take care of yourself and lay off the thc rocks.
And, no, it wouldn't be marijuana that kills you, as marijuana is generally accepted to be a term for the plant matter, specifically the flower. IF you suffered heart failure the THC would be a contributing factor, and unfortunately if it makes the news, there would probably be news segments about the "dangers" of concentrates, which would suck for all of us, so to me, it seems like if you fully know it's going to kill you and continue to do it, it's more like suicide than "marijuana killing you".
I don't know your situation man, but I know depression, and I know what it's like to feel no self worth at times, so I'm genuine in that if you need someone to talk to, feel free to PM me.
If you are being serious about everything you said, you really need to stop fucking around with nitros as your magic cure. It's not like narcan is with opiates. And the fact that you had to be convinced of a stent leads me to believe that you really don't care about life, change that man, because there are people that are dying, kids even, that would love for a second chance.
I'm all about advocating for cannabis but what you're doing is reckless.
Please take care of your heart.
Sincerely,
Tetra
I thought those crystals were a myth
thc doesn't attach to brain stem so cannot directly affect heart. however can lower bp by relaxing vessels causing heart to kick on.
...Cannabis consumption has been shown to cause arrhythmia including ventricular tachycardia, and potentially sudden death, and to increase the risk of myocardial infarction (MI). These effects appear to be compounded by cigarette smoking and precipitated by excessive physical activity, especially during the first few hours of consumption. Cannabinoids, or the active compounds of cannabis, have been shown to have heterogeneous effects on central and peripheral circulation. Acute cannabis consumption has been shown to cause an increase in blood pressure, specifically systolic blood pressure (SBP), and orthostatic hypotension. Cannabis use has been reported to increase risk of ischemic stroke, particularly in the healthy young patients. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is currently considered as a promising therapeutic target in the management of several disease conditions....
...Endocannabinoids were detected in heart tissues and current evidences suggest that the ECS is involved in the regulation of heart rate (HR) and blood pressure in addition to being involved in various other pathological processes. Experimental studies have shown redundancy in endocannabinoid signalling and in endocannabinoid targets with dualistic role of CB-1 and CB-2 receptors in the presence of pathological conditions. Cumulative evidence seems to suggest that CB-1 and CB-2 receptors may play contributory roles in modulating cardiometabolic risk, and atherogenesis, and can also have protective roles in limiting cardiomyocyte damage...
...It is well known that acute exposure to cannabis leads to tachycardia, although the effect on blood pressure is less consistent. On the contrary, chronic exposure was reported to cause bradycardia and a lowering of blood pressure. The endocannabinoids AEA and 2-AG are present in various parts of the vasculature including red blood cells, platelets, serum and vascular cells, and the myocardium....
...In addition, CB1 receptors also function in the peripheral nervous system: in vascular and cardiac tissue, adipocytes, liver, GI tract and uterus to regulate basic physiological mechanisms such as energy balance and reproduction...
...Ionotropic Cannabinoid Receptors (TRPV1)
The transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V, member 1 (TRPV1) is an ionotropic non‐selective cation channel that is predominantly expressed in peripheral sensory neurons and widespread in the cardiovascular system. TRPV1 ion channels have important functions as cellular sensors, and are involved in nociception, taste perception, thermosensation, mechano‐ and osmolarity sensing, and regulation of signal transmission. In addition to ECS and physicochemical activators, TRPV1 is activated by tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabinol, cannabigerol and some propyl homologs of THC and cannabigerol. Cannabichromene (CBC), cannabidiol, and cannabinol are strong TRPA1 agonists and desensitizers, and THCV (from a botanical extract) is a potent regulator of TRPA1....
