"PATIENTS AT RISK FOR HEART PROBLEMS SHOULD BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT USING MARIJUANA". Does that apply to any of you?

The reason why is that marijuana use can change how statins and blood thinners work. The same liver enzymes that break down statins/blood thinners also break down marijuana compounds.

So if you choose to smoke or ingest it let your doctor/pharmacist know because it may require adjusting the drug dosage to accommodate it.
