  1. i know dat weed raises ur blood pressure but ive read some recent articles saying dat chronic actually lowers blood pressure i asked it on cha cha nad it said it lowers it a little, does it???? thanks :smoke::smoke::smoke::smoke:
     

  2. I think it raises your blood pressure but I'm not sure, I know a person who is a daily smoker and already had 3 heart attacks and he seems to think MJ helped him... A lot...
     
  3. did it say that cannabis hepled with your resting blood pressure? because smoking raises it temporarily im sure considering its a vasodilator
     
  4. it gets raised im pretty sure. after i smoke i can feel my heart beat going a lot faster
     
  5. Dudes, quit the freakin' speculation! Get the facts! (From my latest "Granny's List") You'd already know all this stuff, if you had bothered to check my list! :cool:)

  6. I've had high blood pressure for almost 20 years. Pot does NOT raise my blood pressure at all. In fact, it actually lowers it slightly. Usually only drops my systolic pressure about 5 points. Not enough for me to quit my blood pressure medication but I guess every bit helps.
