    Idk if this is a thread already but I was tired of looking lol. But o was diagnosed with high blood pressure 2 years ago. I could feel when my pressure shot up. My ears would burn and so would my face. But I lost weight and started smoking often and I haven't had no more problem. In fact I quit taking my meds a year ago. So I got to ask does it help lower blood pressure because I've always heard it raises it

    Cool I was pretty sure I was good

    Working out and eating right is the key. You've been doin it and look what happened. Just stay active and you should have nothing to worry about

    It lowers blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels in the body. However, it does increase the heart rate.

    It is also an anti-inflammatory. So, it will start working on any inflammation in the body. If there is narrowing of blood vessels due to plaque or being inflamed, it will help with blood flow.

    I have neurocardiogenic syncope, which means my heart rate drops then quickly jumps when I change positions from lying/sitting/standing. However when I toke up, (depending on the strain) my vitals stay at 80/120 which is pretty good for me. The endocannabinoid system regulates the blood flow/heart...perhaps it's replacing cannabinoids we lack?

    Has edibles done better for anyone vs smoking/vaping?

    it is claimed that marijuana lowers blood pressure by dilating your blood vessels as an anti-inflammatory, however it can increase the heart rate
