Can't figure out how to edit this. The page I was reading is this one:

Even though solid research has been limited in this country I like that, at least, many of the older negative ones are being refuted.

I had a viral heart infection Maggie in August 2016 which was very serous with very unlpeasant symptoms. I was truly scared for my life or permanent heart damage. I had been on a vapor break. My heart symptoms were really bad. I started vaping again my heart symptoms immediately settled down and normalised.
It was astonishing, it totally saved me and protected my heart from damage and supported it's function until I cured the infection a month later. My heart has been perfectly healthy ever since, no damage was done.
I eat and vape weed daily, my heart health is excellent- resting pulse low 50's, blood pressure ideal, cholesterol considerably better than average in both directions (i.e. good and bad cholesterol).
I also eat at least 10 grams of salt (himalayan) every day which I weigh out, and eat a very high natural fat diet, with 50 grams plus coconut oil daily, lots of ExV olive oil, plus fat from nuts and meat/fish.
I am decidedly of the view, from my own experiences and bodily intuition, that cannabis, and in particular vaporizing it, is very supportive of heart health. The actives get direct access into the heart when you vape. It truly saved me when I was in real danger, by both supressing the viral infection in my heart, and also by supporting it's function and strength.
Those reports about increased risk of heart attack are simply more false mainstream PROPAGANDA BULLSHIT!

That's why I like this article. It's pretty neutral and mainly points out the lack of reliable research given the government's limiting this:
"The new report found insufficient evidence to support or refute the idea that cannabis might increase the overall risk of a heart attack. The same report, however, also found some limited evidence that smoking could be a trigger for a heart attack."
A good reason to avoid combusintg but no indication that vaping is bad for the heart.

Hello, it is a mixture of both sativa dominant and indica dominant autoflowers. 60% sativa/indica, 20% sativa/indica, and 20% ruderalis, if you folloe me.
No true sats or indis. But im pretty sure though that usually when people are talking about sativas and their preference for indicas, they are talking about the "racing heart" which some can experience.
This is surely relates to the parasympathethic (?) nervous system, and may be triggered psychologically in some people, or at some times. But you could argue that it is just difference in the physiological effects between indicas and sativas.
This makes complete sense to me. An elevated heart rate is not a sign of harm being done to the heart, and I certainly have no reason to believe that sativas have a negative impact on the health of the Heart in any way. It is just the subjective experience which is sometimes described, which can be misinterpreted or misunderstood as being related to Heart health problems.
I get all the typical usual effects from cannabis, my weed is nothing special, but clean, organic outdoor. Trichomes are not too many amber, but enough. A very psychoactive high, not much cbn which I prefer this way.
I hope that makes sense anyway. One thing to consider though- I am emphatic about the importance that cannabis is as free from chemicals as possible in order for the true and full medicinal benefits to be carried though to the body.
Adding chemicals to the plant alters it medicinal signature in my strong belief, and I have certainly been aware of negative effects on both my heart and lungs from chemically grown weed.
For real, chem weed would have a negative effect on my own heart health, maybe partly because it has a seriously severe effect on my lungs, which are directly linked to the heart.
