1 Hoarseness is an abnormal change in the voice. 2  The most common cause of hoarseness is acute laryngitis.  The underlying cause of hoarseness can usually be diagnosed by a health care professional based on the patient's history and physical exam.
The effects usually stop after 3 or 4 hours. Smoking pot can increase your heart rate by as much as two times for up to 3 hours. Thatâs why some people have a heart attack right after they use marijuana. It can increase bleeding, lower blood pressure, and affect your blood sugar, too.
Smoking marijuana can harm more than just the lungs and respiratory system-it can also affect the immune system and the body's ability to fight disease, especially for those whose immune systems are already weakened from immunosuppressive drugs or diseases, such as HIV infection.
