One of the primary studies NIDA uses to link myocardial infarction (heart attack) and marijuana smoking based their results on 9 people out of 4,000 having had a heart attack in the hour after they reported smoking marijuana. 3 of those nine reported having engaged in additional "triggering" behaviors in that hour -- with one subject having snorted cocaine, one engaging in sex, and the third doing both.

This study and its finding is the basis for NIDA's claim. Look it up.
