"In conclusion, the potential for increased use of marijuana in the changing legal landscape suggests the need for the community to intensify research regarding the safety of marijuana use and for cardiologists to maintain an awareness of the potential for adverse effects." - Dr. G Thomas
"We conclude that endocannabinoids tonically suppress cardiac contractility in hypertension and that enhancing the CB1-mediated cardiac depressor and vasodilator effects of endogenous anandamide by blocking its hydrolysis can normalize blood pressure. Targeting the endocannabinoid system offers novel therapeutic strategies in the treatment of hypertension." - Dr. Bátkai, MD
"Cannabinoids were found to be potent CB1-receptor dependent vasodilators in the coronary and cerebrovascular beds, The endogenous cannabinoid system plays an important role in cardiovascular regulation and pharmacological manipulation of this system may offer novel therapeutic approaches in a variety of pathological conditions."- Dr. Wagner
