Yeah, maybe just play something less stressful, like the sax or something. | Heart attack sufferers are often skinny (wirey), and pot smoking raises anxiety levels and represents a considerably greater heart attack risk to those with heart disease. If he also played the trumpet the risk factors would be the same.
This whole thread is pretty much a red herring. Playing music (on anything) is beneficial to the human organism.
