Can affect the heart: Marijuana can increase your heart rate and slightly increase your blood pressure while lying down. It may cause a slightly increased risk for developing heart attacks and strokes. You should definitely consider cutting back on use. Consider attending 12 step mtgs or entering into a drug tx program. If you suffer from pain or other conditions, see your dr. For other forms of therapy.
