Dear Friend,
In case you may have missed it, there was a terrific article in the New York Times that succinctly laid out the facts when it comes to the potential harms of marijuana use on cardiovascular health.
“Do you have the heart to safely smoke pot? Maybe not, a growing body of medical reports suggest,” begins the piece — authored by Personal Health columnist Jane E. Brody.
Brody’s piece lays out the evidence showing marijuana use impairs blood’s oxygen-carrying capacity, exposes users to harmful chemicals and leads to abnormal heart rhythms.The piece also explained how researchers are exploring the possible connections between high potency marijuana use and heart attacks and stroke.
Articles such as this are crucial to our efforts to halt the expansion of Big Pot and the normalization of marijuana use. Too often we hear folks say that marijuana use is harmless, but in reality it seems that each day brings forth more evidence of marijuana’s harm to health and safety.
Please take a minute to read the article and make sure you share it on all your social media channels.
