Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.

Although there is nothing worst than death but the occurrence of cardiac failure is most likely complication that can occur and in rare situations it may lead to death. Having said this the possibility is very less as mild regurgitation do not allow heart to get decompensated unless otherwise there is immense circulatory overload.

Still to be on the safer side my request will be against use of any psycho-stimulant including cannabis.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanksd and regards.
