By AGGREY OMBOKI More by this AuthorSmoking bhang can be harmful to the heart and blood vessels, a new research shows. A study by the America Heart Association (AHA), released earlier this month, shows though bhang may have medicinal properties, it can damage the heart and blood vessels. Some research has found that within an hour of smoking bhang, THC, which causes the high or euphoric feeling in the drug, may induce heart rhythm abnormalities. According to the report, research has also linked bhang use to a heart rhythm disorder known as atrial fibrillation and heart failure. Cannabis studies are restricted in the US because it is listed as a schedule one controlled substance in the US Controlled Substances Act.
