HEART DISEASE - CARDIOVASCULAR

HEART DISEASE - CARDIOVASCULAR: 

FYI: Minimal articles on Synthetic Cannabinoids and their effect on the Cardiovascular system. It is important to know Synthetic Cannabinoids (MAB CHMINACA, spice, K2, etc.) may be deadly, and are NOT suggested or prescribed for human consumption. According to Dr. Kenneth Katz, Synthetic Cannabinoids have High potential for a major public health risk. This comment from Dr. Katz DOES NOT include prescribed synthetic cannabinoids such as Dronabinol, Epidiolex, Sativex, Cesamet, as these are tightly regulated by the FDA. https://docs.house.gov/meetings/IF/IF14/20151008/104047/HHRG-114-IF14-Wstate-KatzK-20151008.pdf
