Aw that's so cute. Did you miss me?
I'm not going to go back and quote you again. And all you have been doing is pulling stuff off the internet that supports whatever point you're trying to make, which is that marijuana is a harmless wonder drug that can actually be harmful. lol . . .
I can do that too. Here is something it took me about 15 seconds to find:
Marijuana also raises heart rate by 20-100 percent shortly after smoking; this effect can last up to 3 hours. In one study, it was estimated that marijuana users have a 4.8-fold increase in the risk of heart attack in the first hour after smoking the drug. This risk may be greater in older individuals or in those with cardiac vulnerabilities.
A number of studies have linked chronic marijuana use and mental illness. High doses of marijuana can produce a temporary psychotic reaction (involving hallucinations and paranoia) in some users, and using marijuana can worsen the course of illness in patients with schizophrenia. A series of large studies following users across time also showed a link between marijuana use and later development of psychosis. This relationship was influenced by genetic variables as well as the amount of drug used, drug potency, and the age at which it was first taken—those who start young are at increased risk for later problems.
Associations have also been found between marijuana use and other mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts among adolescents, and personality disturbances, including a lack of motivation to engage in typically rewarding activities. More research is still needed to confirm and better understand these linkages.
Marijuana use during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of neurobehavioral problems in babies. Because THC and other compounds in marijuana mimic the body’s own endocannabinoid chemicals, marijuana use by pregnant mothers may alter the developing endocannabinoid system in the brain of the fetus. Consequences for the child may include problems with attention, memory, and problem solving.
Additionally, because it seriously impairs judgment and motor coordination, marijuana contributes to risk of injury or death while driving a car. A recent analysis of data from several studies found that marijuana use more than doubles a driver’s risk of being in an accident. The combination of marijuana and alcohol is worse than either substance alone with respect to driving impairment

I can be a Google.com expert too.
What in the fuck is that? do you know what references are? you have no idea if the claims are true? you just accept their claims? Listen, it's clear you are no academic, you are arguing with a doctor posting retarded articles with no context. These claims are meaningless 1) without references, no competing data, 2)without context. Lets add context and reason to this article. I will stop if you admit you have no idea what you are talking about.however lets destroy this articles regardless.

oh cool, how much does exercise raise the heart rate? caffeine might raise heart rate, let's check. Now I decided to use this study for a reason, to teach you two lessons.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the effects of caffeinated energy shots compared with noncaffeinated energy shots as assessed by changes in peripheral and central hemodynamic parameters in healthy subjects.
DESIGN:
Randomized, double-blind, controlled crossover study.
SETTING:
University campus.
PATIENTS:
Ten healthy volunteers.
MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:
Subjects were randomized to receive either a caffeinated or noncaffeinated energy shot; after a minimum 6 days washout period, subjects were given the alternate energy shot. Peripheral blood pressures, and central hemodynamic parameters, were assessed and recorded for each subject at baseline and at 1 and 3 hours after consumption of the energy shots. Peripheral systolic blood pressure (SBP) increased significantly with the caffeinated energy shot compared with noncaffeinated (8.30 ± 4.19 mm Hg and -0.20 ± 5.55, respectively, p=0.009) at 3 hours. Central SBP increased significantly with the caffeinated energy shot compared with noncaffeinated (8.00 ± 4.03 mm Hg and 1.50 ± 6.57, respectively, p=0.045) at 3 hours. Peripheral and central diastolic blood pressure were nonsignificantly higher with the caffeinated energy shot at 3 hours. Peripheral and central pulse pressure were consistently higher with consumption of the caffeinated beverage. Heart rate, augmentation index, pulse pressure amplification ratio, ejection duration and Subendocardial Viability Ratio were not different between the two interventions over time. P1 height was significantly higher with the caffeinated shot compared with the noncaffeinated shot at both 1 and 3 hours (p=0.035 and 0.013, respectively). Three and one subjects experienced an adverse effect with the caffeinated and noncaffeinated shot, respectively.
CONCLUSION:
A caffeinated energy shot acutely increases peripheral and central SBPs compared with a noncaffeinated energy shot. Larger studies with a placebo comparator are needed to assess the significance of peripheral and central hemodynamic changes with noncaffeinated energy drinks.This gives us two points.One caffeine has some significant effects on blood pressure, pulse and heart rate, and two, it shows that when you compare your articles claim to say this point, it makes no sense. I am not sure what point you are trying to make. Are you suggesting marijuana is bad because it raises heart rate and that this is a reason for not legalizing? or are you suggesting I didn't know cannabis increase HR? what point are you attempting to get across. It does increase heart rate, however, tolerance develops to that effect overtime, GASP, the point in context makes it less scary and to a degree a half truth. You could critically appraise things too, if you went to school that is.
Let's continue....... shall ... we ....betafag.

What studies? what type of mental illness? what the fuck..... ok so high doses (too much of the drug) can cause a psychedelic reaction? wait.. well fuck me, cannabis appears to be a mild psychedelic. It's like the alcohol page saying temporary reactions of too much include losing consciousness. You are the type of person who then equates alcohol with losing consciousness, however that's not the whole truth, see how intelligent people think? water intoxication is real, ie to much water, it causes irregular heart beat, coma, death.The last past is just not true, where are they getting this information from? it's clear that genetics not cannabis is the culprit in schizophrenogenesis. Psychosis isn't a sole state, is it chronic or acute? we may never know if these hyperintelligent beings who wrote the above don't fill us in.

WTF point are you making, the fucking bitter irony is you posted a abuse fact as if it's marijuana's sole manner of usage. However, i'll play dumbo, I generally like to start the fetus at two joints a day and have him dabbing by 3, certainly no latter then 4 (that would be child abuse). I am a strong proponent of abuse of all things in fact, it's how you get the medicinez to work.

Good point brah, I am also a big champion of using drugs and driving for everyone, even those with permits and ride along passes. I wonder how much alcohol increases chance of accident, probably way less right, duh..........\
That last point scares me, if a third drug is added do you become a supervillian? Fuck me, that last point makes sense now. See I didn't understand percentages and synergism, I was like well if alcholo is the worst for impairment, taking some of these Xanax and oxy's won't matter. That explains why I felt a bit more off that night, so did I supoose to substract?
?
Thanks for coming out.
