A member asked:
Can medical marijuana cause a heart attack for someone with hyperthyroidism? someone randomly told me it can cause a "hormone dump" is this true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't know: A suddenly release of T3, (liothyronine) thereby causing tachycardia and potentially serious enough to result in a heart attack: this is not a known side effect of marijuana. On the other hand, what you may be getting in your marijuana is unlikely to have been subjected to rigorous regulatory procedure, scientific or legal. So you takes your chances.
