I mean, we don't see, again, it's not like super clean relationships like we're seeing that were there when they established, you know, cigarette smoking and lung cancer kind of thing. I think that effect was so profound and the population of smokers used to be so high.

I would probably guess, and this is a guess, that anything, again, combustion smoke-wise, I mean, maybe not vaping plant matter, but at least the combustion from smoking probably exacerbates this just because any kind of combustion product is going to have some vascular effects to some degree on the system. So I imagine we'll make it worse.

But THC itself has a very complex effect on cardiovascular function because it tends to cause – typically vasodilation. So you get widening of the blood vessels, which is why it relates to a lot of people will experience postural hypotension. So sometimes when, what that is is if you stand up and your blood pressure doesn't catch up with you, so you get really lightheaded and people will collapse.

And so this is not uncommon to happen to people when, and with edibles as well. So it's not just from smoking. Um, But when they've consumed cannabis in some capacity, there are some people that seem to be very sensitive to the vasodilating effects. And so when they stand up, their blood pressure can't match the shifting gravity that happens.

It's a bit of a tricky thing because obviously if there is some underlying heart or a cardiac sensitivity or issue, the tachycardia itself can be a problem.

I mean, so like, you know, if someone has like an underlying heart condition where at rest it may not present itself, but the shifts into that kind of beating faster to compensate for the fact that you've got a drop in blood pressure can put strain on the heart in a way that could unmask a vulnerability or an event.

And again, this is me theorizing what I think it could be based on what we understand to some degree about how it affects cardiovascular function. There are occasionally people who have reported having like elevated blood pressure. I mean, some of that also could be from like an anxiety state or whatnot coming around.
