Is It Good To Smoke Weed?
i have arrythmya and wanted to know if it was ok to smoke weed? Many people have different opinions. One person says they have arrythmya and do it every day. He says he is fine. Also, if it is ok why am i not be allowed to have caffiene? Also, since cannabis increases your heart rate, if i should not smoke why can i exercise?

Most people do not have their arrhythmias increased if they smoke weed (among those WITH arrhythmia). Caffeine definitely is not recommended. Exercise, while it makes the arrhythmia worse in teh short run really really helps it after you build up your cardiovascular tone, and is generally recommended BUT often with starting it under supervision (maybe starting with a stress test).
