I am fully on board with Alex's disdain of marijuana. The rampant legalization of it is doing nothing but causing more problems - when do people admit this?
Without knowing Fetterman's "vax" schedule, I'd be reluctant to conclude it was the weed. Thanks Alex, for the Sunday update though. I thought when I heard it the guy was withdrawing but of course, he isn't. He's a Democrat. Why would any Democrat withdraw when they have a demented, corrupt Obama puppet with Biden occupying the Oval?
Marijuana smoking has been observed to cause significant health issues. The youngest laryngeal cancer I ever treated was a 17 yo from rural Utah who had a very long history of exposure and personal usage. He lived in a commune as a foster child. The pro-cannabis lobby would have us believe usage was harmless. It’s hard to study retrospectively because many users also smoke cigarettes. I’d refrain from both unless there is an overwhelming need and you have nothing to lose. Terminal cancer is an example and I’m sure there are others.
This is interesting. Don't like smoking it myself. I get paranoid, then fall asleep!! Neither do I begrudge anyone having a toke. Canada has legalized cannabis, probably because our "leader" is hoping that we'll be too stoned to notice or care about all of his illegal activities.
I've noticed that "coincidence" as well. What other theory could there possibly be Alex? Too much soccer, too much yoga? Nah...we'll just go with all of the sudden cannabis causes cardio vascular events being discovered around the time of the Covid vax roll outs.
In other so-called “Health News” across countless outlets: we were assured the jabs worked…until it was proven they don’t. But many—including our state health department are still running ads/billboards urging boosters. What are we up to now…#5 or 6? Also note there’s no mention of the organization behind this earth shattering study or its so-called credentials or how it was conducted or funded. Like many Americans, I am sick of and no longer trust 3-letter agencies or universities to give unbiased opinions or accurately recount “data.”
its the jab - like many on the side of not taking this - its coming true - we are seeing lots of excess deaths and I suspect it will really be noticeable this coming winter during flu season and I am sure many people will be on their 10th jab
Let's stop pretending that consumption of cannabis is always so good and healthy. It's a drug. Smoking it cannot be healthy. Smoking anything cannot be healthy. It's smoke for God's sake. I'm sure it may have some medicinal properties, and it might make you feel better, but like all drugs, there's side effects and risks. Recreational use might be fun like drinking or it may be harmful like drinking. Medicinal use might be effective but it might make things worse or be harmful in some other way. Bottom line is that if you can live without cannabis, you're better off not taking it. I have never been a recreational drug or alcohol user, so I can't relate to that. As far as medicines, I take some prescription meds (not cannabis) and I accept the risks in exchange for the benefits. When I say I'm anti vaxx, I don't mean I'm against all medicines, or vaccines I just mean I'm against medicines or vaccines that A) I don't believe in, B) that don't work, C) that are forced upon me with threat and D) that are recommended by fraudulent organizations and people like the CDC and Fauci, Joe Biden, CNN, and the cackling women on The View.
Your Truth about Marijuana book was spot on. I bought several copies and gave them out to friends. Too bad idiot politicians/policymakers don’t read it
People who use marijuana have an increased risk of heart disease and heart attack, according to a large study led by researchers at Stanford Medicine.
The study also showed that the psychoactive component of the drug, known as THC, causes inflammation in endothelial cells that line the interior of blood vessels, as well as atherosclerosis in laboratory mice.
The inflammation and atherosclerosis can be blocked by a small molecule called genistein that occurs naturally in soy and fava beans, the researchers found. Because genistein has limited brain penetration, it doesn’t inhibit THC’s ability to stimulate appetite, dull pain and tamp down nausea — characteristics vital to medicinal marijuana users.
Please come clean with new research. I have too say, this has never ever been a subject with weed. Secondly, weed is now a political weapon. When politics gets involved expect the truth to get buried. There are so many lies and misinformation on weed for decades and now it has exploded to absurd levels as probably this "new research". What we do know with absolute certainty is being fat leads to everything can go wrong. Ad some alcohol, sugary food, junk food. Yeah you're going to have a stroke or heart problems. I've never heard or seen an active thin weed smoker report strokes or heart attacks. I don't think this is a thing and I know a lot of weed users who also knows a lot of weed users and on and on, and nope, no reports like this at all. I'm calling BS on this one. BTW weed users are some of the healthiest people around, and yes you can use too much like everything else in life moderation is key brah.
Come on, man. Cannabis has been with us for eons. But the link to heart attacks was only found after the Covid vaccines started causing heart attacks and they're desperate for cover. Other newly found causes for heart attacks include standing up too fast, and laughing too hard.
So where's the association between weed and strokes? It seems to me like your work is being plagued by 'confounders', like the clot shots. Without evidence to even associate weed with strokes - you appear to be plagued with the problem of 'confirmation bias'.
So what you're saying is that there's "an association" between cannabis, and heart attacks. Could it be that people who smoke weed more than once a month are also more likely to smoke cigarettes, or drink alcohol, or eat red meat or pork, or salty foods?
What's the reduction in overall life expectancy, for people who smoke weed more than once a month? Does it matter if it's Sativa or Indica? Inquiring minds want to know.
Generations of drug warriors, going back to Harry Anslinger, and William Randolph Hearst, want to know why they couldn't manage to make these "association"s...
Alex please highlight the fact he chased a black man after hearing bottle rockets and held him at gunpoint with a shotgun. He faced no charges and actually marched with BLM during the Floyd protests. You cannot make this shit up....
As someone who smoked pot heavily from about 15-45 I can honestly say that I would have been better off without it. It kind of dulled my brain down, which allowed me to suffer fools to a much greater extent than if I hadn’t been high. I think I would have been an insufferable know it all (I was anyway but the weed made me not care enough to correct my friends) and not had many friends…but on the flip side I would be much healthier and wealthier 😂
I had a TIA in 2020, I believe it was because I smoked. I quit once I read about possible causes, luckily I just had a TIA and nothing more, and it was a reason not to get the vaccine, and saved me with physician exemptions.
I am a resident of PA so this election has some significance for us. All the local news coverage of Fetterman focuses on his desperation to legalize weed. I'm not sure he has any other platform.
Live in a state that legalized it - buzzed drivers all over the place. Everything in excess including alcohol will always bring about danger to the users and non users.
Jon….. Dr Kory stated that more overweight bald men ended up sick , on vents. Treatment was to block part of the testosterone pathway.. or is the moral of the story pot smoking, bald,obese men eat too many hot pockets.?
It is all the fault of cannabis, of course. ;) I have fact checkers’ words — you’ll see these in a few days in USA Today— that biologists have verified it is not the vaccine. In other news, they are still trying to determine Ketnaji’s gender.
New Mexico Senator Ray Luhan had a stroke recently. Maryland Senator Van Hollen had a stroke this weekend. And Democrat Senate frontrunner Fetterman also suffered a stroke. Hmmm. I don't remember so many Senators having strokes before. Probably just a coincidence.
Marijuana isn't good for you, but it still shouldn't be illegal. People need to make their own choices, whether about alcohol, marijuana, or death jabs.
It's no business of yours what people choose to put in their body. That goes for vaccines and it also goes for drugs of any kind. Leveraging the State to carry out your ideologies is essentially the act of hiring a hit man.
The State has no right to tell you that you can't get an abortion or that you can't smoke weed or that you have to put a needle in your arm.
The State is a violent mafia organization that uses violence and coercion to steal the fruits of your labor and it uses knee-jerk emotional reaction and ideology to gain whatever popular support it can for continuing to run its abhorrent protection racket.
Don't play into it. You can have your opinions about marijuana. But don't go damning someone who's trying to take the regulation of it out of State hands (as it should be in each individual's personal hands, instead).
Spoiler alert: he was a prime candidate for a stroke &/or heart attack even without cannabis use. Estimating he is 100-150 pounds overweight, has high blood pressure and is on statins.
every adult should have the right to use whatever drug they want as long as you don't require communist health care services for which healthy people will have to pay.
I would be happy to legalize everything if they stopped stealing my money via taxes for their social service sheet.
I've noticed that there are all sorts of new reasons people, especially the young, have been having so many heart attacks and strokes lately.
I am fully on board with Alex's disdain of marijuana. The rampant legalization of it is doing nothing but causing more problems - when do people admit this?
His stroke would have been way worse if he wasn’t vaccinated.
much more likely the stroke is from the "vaccine" than weed
Without knowing Fetterman's "vax" schedule, I'd be reluctant to conclude it was the weed. Thanks Alex, for the Sunday update though. I thought when I heard it the guy was withdrawing but of course, he isn't. He's a Democrat.

I instantly thought--booster shots

Perhaps the Cannabis - Heart attack relationship is this:
Smoke a Doobie 👉 Get Munchies 👉 Eat Highly Processed, Fattening Crap 👉 Get a Heart Attack
So just skip the Crap and all is well. That's a saying we can all get behind! 😁
I've noticed that "coincidence" as well. What other theory could there possibly be Alex? Too much soccer, too much yoga? Nah...we'll just go with all of the sudden cannabis causes cardio vascular events being discovered around the time of the Covid vax roll outs.
Is he "vaccinated "?
Where are we headed? Banning menthol cigarettes and legalizing Dope?
OMG! I read this as “fat, vaccinated cannibal”. I was so confused! 😂

Fetterman was also tweeting out this February to get the Covid booster so there's that as well.
Let me add that I hope he completely recovers and quickly.
Democrats wish Kathy Barnette had been aborted, it’s healthcare!

Shouldn’t someone warn Willie? He was 82 when I saw him in concert . He wore out the crowd for 2 1/2 hrs.
Perhaps Alex was referring to this study:

I don’t think a stroke will harm his brain. There is already a lot of empty space up there.
I am willing to bet it was all the jabs he took.
Cannabis makes my heart pound like crazy - can totally believe this.
Every time he talks David Frum his mortician should put a sardine in his mouth 👄
Karmic wheel needs to start turning on a whole lot more 🤞🏻
Government wants you stoned and stupid. You’ll be easier to control and won’t put up a fight. So fire up another fatty, at least you won’t care.

It's the vaxecution. This is a stupid argument

As an aside - that "Together Trial" that you pointed towards as proving a lack of efficacy for Ivermectin (despite all of the other trials and studies pointing in just the opposite direction. https://www.cureus.com/articles/82162-ivermectin-prophylaxis-used-for-covid-19-a-citywide-prospective-observational-study-of-223128-subjects-using-propensity-score-matching) appears to both fail to prove what was claimed ... But ALSO have serious -designed-to-fail - design flaws.

OMG, Is Fatterman wearing a hooded sweatshirt in that photo? What size? XXXXXXL? I thought it was his bath robe. Good lord.
I am a resident of PA so this election has some significance for us. All the local news coverage of Fetterman focuses on his desperation to legalize weed. I'm not sure he has any other platform.
Which booster is this guy on?
Live in a state that legalized it - buzzed drivers all over the place. Everything in excess including alcohol will always bring about danger to the users and non users.
Maybe he just shook out his duvet too briskly

I wonder if Willie Nelson knows about this?

To be fair, "linked to" isn't "caused by." What's the absolute risk in the groups studied?
