A member asked:
How does marijuana effect the heart with a heart condition? my friend wants to know why i cant smoke it, i have hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

It's your business: I'd ask, "How do you FEEL?" Some folks who are operated for hypoplastic left heart enjoy near-normal physical fitness, and that includes the ability to smoke stuff. Cannabis is probably about as bad for you as tobacco but it less addictive and folks smoke less. It's also illegal and physicians worry about liability if they okay it. I hope you're exercising as well. Best wishes.
