Question by .: can marijuana kill someone with a heart condition?
if my friend has heart problems (irregular beats, skipping beats)
and weed makes his heart rate go up by about 40 bpm (from 60 to 100) for at 2 hours then could a high amount of weed kill him?
is it possible that this person could be an exeption to “not being able to overdose”

Best answer:

No, the weed itself is not going to kill him but smoking anything is bad for your cardiac health. A nice brownie recipe may be the key, here!

Those heart rates are not worrisome, by the way and irregular heart beats do not necessarily indicate a heart condition. He may be worried for nothing.
