Does marijuana have any effect on your heart?

Does marijuana have any effect on your heart? This question is not easy to answer. The known initial effects immediately after smoking or ingesting marijuana are: Lowered blood pressure, because the marijuana has a dilating effect on blood vessels.This is good for glaucoma patients and those with high blood pressure. A racing heart, especially when partaking of cannabis with high levels of THC (not good for those with pre-existing heart conditions or a tendency toward paranoia or anxiety). If someone has a heart condition which might be impacted by either of these effects, like a cardiomyopathy where the heart muscle is thickened and has difficulty beating in the first place, a racing heart may not be advantageous and could possibly lead to heart attack or sudden cardiac arrest. The truth is the results of recent studies are vague and there hasn’t been enough clinical testing or evidence to prove it is either good or bad for a healthy person’s heart. All they can do is look at reported heart-related hospital visits and deaths, and compare them with either a patient’s admission to using marijuana or urine samples pointing to such. Trying to decide at that point how far back to attribute the use comes into play. Could there be a link if the cardiac incident happened only directly after use? After 24 hours? After a week? A month? A year?
