I've witnessed somebody have a cardiac arrest after doing nothing, they obviously had an unhealthy heart.
I can not believe for one minute that cannabis poses a heart risk to any healthy individual. It is noted that it increases heart rate and blood pressure (as do many, many things) but the risk of heart attack is not noted by any medical authority that I know of.
By the way, cocaine + cannabis = risking a heart attack but cocaine is very bad anyway.
Remember that cannabis has never officially had a single death attributed to it! If they could pin something on it, I'm sure they would, for justification of their existing legislation if nothing else.

That is far more dangerous! If you have a bad heart in the first place then you'd be an idiot to ride a roller coaster. The same is true for smoking cannabis, etc, etc.
