If combined with other drugs that either increase the heart rate or substantially lower blood pressure the effects can be drastic or even fatal. In general, acute marijuana use raises the heart rate </span>1.5-2 times it's resting or normal rate; this suggests that if an individual was rest, and their heart rate was around 75 BPM at rest rate, it would be between 112.5 and 150 BPM. It is not uncommon for jogging heart rates to reach these levels, suggesting that while the acute effects persist it would be as if running a marathon frequently. If one were to be jogging or moving relatively quickly while under the acute effects of marijuana, this may double what would ordinarily be the jogging heart rate; such as if an individual was jogging while under the acute effects of marijuana, and the jogging heart rate was 112.5 to 150, it would be double this under the effects of marijuana, or 250-300, far above what might be considered sprinting levels.<br /> <br /> The maximum safe levels of heart rate for an individual would be near triple their resting heart rate. Minor strenuous activity that can easily raise the heart rate to 1.5 or double the resting heart rate This suggests that if any kind of strenuous activity is combined with marijuana, the acute effects on the heart and exceed safety levels enormously. <br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Long Term Physiological Effects</b><br /> <br /> <b>Chronic use </b><br /> <br /> <b>Lungs, if smoked</b><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Short Term Acute Psychological and Nervous System Effects&nbsp;</b><br /> <b><br /></b> <b>Long Term Physiological and Nervous System Effects</b><br /> <br /> <br /> <b>More or less</b><br /> There is overwhelming evidence to suggest that frequent marijuana use can damage the lungs, heart, kidney, liver, and other organs in addition to the brain, both lowering cognitive capacities, reaction time, and having adverse effects on the response to dopamine and other Endocannabinoid systems. Due to the amount of time it can persist in the system dissolved in lipids and other parts of the body, even infrequent use can cause trouble with driving, health, and general work throughout the day even days after acute administration. Recreational use should take great care to avoid any work for days after an event, or possibly not be taken at all.Everybodydothatdinosaurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03803610239882312722noreply@blogger.com0
