“The American Heart Association recommends that people not smoke or vape any substance, including cannabis products, because of the potential harm to the heart, lungs and blood vessels,” said Dr. Rose Marie Robertson, the deputy chief science and medical officer for the American Heart Association, in a statement.

The new scientific statement, published Wednesday in the AHA journal Circulation, examined existing research on the connection between cannabis and the heart. The statement found using weed has “the potential to interfere with prescribed medications” as well as “trigger cardiovascular conditions or events, such as heart attacks and strokes,” said clinical pharmacologist Robert Page II, who chaired the medical writing group for the statement.

In an interview with Far Out magazine, the Dungeon Family rapper said, “A lot of music today is very unfortunate and disappointing on a personal and moral level.” The Atlanta native went on to recall, “There was once a time when we were savvy enough to code certain things. We could express to those it was meant for with the style of language we used. But now music is shameless, it is sheer savagery.”

Though he went on to express an understanding of “… the independent woman and being in control, the divine femininity and sexual expression,” he asserts that the approach taken by Cardi B and Megan The Stallion “feels desperate,” and argues that Nicki Minaj, whom he refers to as a Head of State, “could be effective in so many other constructive ways…”

Their message to landlords and government leaders: Don’t allow evictions to occur during a global pandemic. Tenant activists are worried about the millions of unemployed Americans who now stand on the edge of an unprecedented housing crisis that could leave as many as 40 million people facing eviction by the end of the year. 

The orders “will take care of pretty much this entire situation, as we know it,” Trump said.

But what he didn’t say is that the money will be diverted from much-needed disaster relief funds and state coffers, which are already threadbare due to the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus. There are also likely to be legal challenges to Trump’s actions, and even if the executive orders are enacted, economists say the money will run out in a matter of weeks.
