Cannabis and low blood pressure?

  1. Well, I'm pretty sure I have low blood pressure. I experience head rushes frequently when I get up fast from sitting, I'm always cold, sometimes experience chest pains, etc. I've heard SO many different things about cannabis. Some say that it lowers blood pressure, some say that it makes your blood pressure higher. If I have low blood pressure, would it be dangerous to smoke? If weed really does LOWER your blood pressure, could it make mine dangerously low when I'm smoking it? I need some advice here..
     
  2. Are you sure have low blood pressure? Because all those things happen to me and I have normal blood pressure but I'm not sure dude, don't think it will be dangerous idk.
     
  3. Get yourself a blood pressure monitor from the drug store. Then you can see what's up.

    My blood pressure goes up just a little bit but nothing significant, and my heart rate goes up like 10-20%.
     
  4. I don't see any consensus about the effects of cannabis on blood pressure or whether it would be good/bad for someone with low blood pressure, so I will direct you to Granny Storm Crow's list of cannabis studies.

    EDIT: Grasscity seems to be fucking up that link... Remove the "http://apicdn.viglink.com/api/!645925!" and leave everything past http:// and you should get to it just fine.
