Daily use of marijuana raises risk of heart disease, study finds

[lark]

6. I'm 70 and have been smoking pot (mostly) every day for 20 years.

Started smoking at 17, when I could find it. I smoked probably 50% of the time. When I hit 40 I developed major sleeping issues. Took a lot of over the counter stuff, but nothing worked except Kava kava, but it worked great. Then it got taken off the shelfs because it's totally incompatible with alcohol, really bad stuff was mentioned. I went 72 hours and got 3 hours of sleep, walked into a wall and knocked myself out. I had quit smoking for a few months that time and knew I slept so much better when I smoked, so found a source and started smoking again, every day this time and have never stopped.

So 20 years after I started my daily smoking, I had my lungs x-rayed and doc said I look fine. I would like to switch to edibles, but the ones they have here are way too weak and do me no good. Still hoping the state will change it's rules or I will have to research and find ways to make my own edibles when/if my lungs start being impacted worse.
