re: Any use of marijuana linked to higher risk of heart attack and stroke, study says

I’m no expert but I have read THC raises blood pressure for about 30 minutes then lowers blood pressure and this is why your eyes turn red due to lowered blood pressure.

If this is true I don’t see how edibles would raise the risk of heart attack or stroke in otherwise healthy people.

Now if you’re overweight and have high blood pressure anyway and you take a substance that raises your BP for 30 minutes I can see this would be a problem. But these people would have had a problem anyway just not as soon.
