I think this is making the assumption that temporally elevated HR and BP is bad.
- goodroot 2mo agoRight, the rationale for why saunas and heat stress is good for you is specifically because it raises the heart rate.
- retrac 2mo agoHot sauna is often cautioned against for those with existing cardiac or vascular problems, with some reason.
- DANmode 2mo agoExercising or stressing damaged or degenerated tissues = bad
- hbcdbff 2mo agoSauna raises HR without increasing blood pressure though (modulo some possible initial short spike at the beginning), because your blood vessels dilate.
- iwontberude 2mo agoCannabis causes dilation of blood vessels and elevated HR, it’s the same effect. If you take a big dab you can definitely feel your blood pressure drop and muscles relax even though your heart rate has increased.
- kranner 2mo agoIt's a fair assumption being a known potential cause of death. Of course I'm now assuming death is bad.
- kataklasm 2mo agoBy that argumentation sport is bad and a potential death risk factor, it also elevates heart rate and blood pressure!
- brookst 2mo agoNot to mention art, sex, walking, etc, etc
- literalAardvark 2mo agoI think you'd be surprised how often doctors still say that
- parineum 2mo agoIt has substantially more benefit than that risk. Physical exertion also has the added benefit of lowering rest hr and bp.
- johnisgood 2mo agoYeah! I added that as an example and then edited it out. Your parent's comment makes no sense. Water can kill you, too! It does not mean that drinking water is bad.

Media tropes sure are great at propagating myths and generating false stigma, which creates a chilling effect for ever correcting the former. https://thereitis.org/mr-x-by-carl-sagan https://thereitis.org/mr-x-by-carl-sagan
- Teever 2mo agoI find it interesting how many people come out of the wood work to make disparaging comments about people who use cannabis whenever the subject of cannabis use comes up on HN. Having lived in a country where cannabis has been legal for about a decade now it's quaint seeing this kind of casual disrespect levelled by a stranger. I wonder if this kind of mindset is still common here and people just don't vocalize it anymore, or if it's the kind of mentality that continued criminalization perpetuates.

- swed420 2mo ago> how many people come out of the wood work to make disparaging comments about people who use cannabis It's actually not even just HN. I've noticed this with many people in real life (US). It's especially strong with the subset of Boomers who never used it. They make it part of their personality to have not used it, while often fully embracing alcohol and ignoring all of the personal and societal risks it brings. Surely they pass this mentality onto their kids with a 50% success rate. Maybe it's some kind of inferiority/superiority compensation mechanism for not being a hippy like their rival sibling was, etc.
