It will have not effect on the PM. But it might affect whatever condition that you have the pacemaker for. Make it better or worse. And a PM adjustment might or might not help.

Also recent study has indicated an increased chance in cardiomyopathy using marijuana.

Now I have not seen the actual study, which often makes these things much clearer than new reports.

Ask your cardiologist to check on this.

And remember with an kind of treatment or not doing treatment there is both a potential risk and potential benifit.

It is a decision that you need to make after consulting with your cardiologist and the doctor(s) handling the myasthenia gravis.
