does weed effect blood presure?

just wondering if smoking lowers blood presure, i dunno just a random thought

 

The only way it would lower blood pressure is if you become a lazy smoker and dont get much excercise.

 

i am lazy and i have very high bloodpressure. being stressed can raise your blood pressure. marijuana relaxes the body and the mind therefore lowering blood pressure (in most smokers)............... kinda like watching fish swim around in a fish tank is good for people with high blood pressure...... it relaxes them and helps the bloodpressure go down!!!!!
​

 

it lowers mine. it was high for a while and then i had to see a doctor on 4/20 (funny shit) and i had smoked quite a bit and it the nurse was surprised i got my BP down.... AHAHAHAHAa

 

i've heard something about it decreasing blood flow, but then i hear stuff about it dilating the blood vessels in the eyes thus creating more blood flow. so i really don't know what to tell ya, but the being relaxed concept seems logical.

 

No fuck that it sure does (I say that because it can be a pain in the ass). I already have low bloodpressure as it is and smoking makes me see stars and shit and I black out sometimes when I stand up. It's so obvious to me that it efects me. Low blood pressure runs in my family and even in very healthy condition in high school my b/p was low.

 

I check my blood pressure often and smoking weed lowers it considerably.

 

my heart usually beats pretty fast the first 20-30 minutes of the high , depending on the bud. It usually stimulates me for a while, especially if its more on the Sativa side or still a little wet, i get a very up, pulse-raising high that comes down to a body stone. i always thought this was normal.. i've read identical reports on overgrow.. maybe its just the high grade bud though..

 

i just finished my practical nursing course. =) (i love saying that. i truly am proud of ol' ethan). but, what i learned was smoking in general constricts your blood vessels... so, that in itself i would think would raise blood pressure... but that's only while smoking, and a short while after. the longterm relaxation reefer provokes might decrease bloodpressure, but i odnt know about significantly.

 

It acts as a vasodilator which lowers blood pressure, thus causing the heart to increase its speed and strenght of contraction to overcome the fall in bp.

 

but surely u know that weed does the opposite.. and makes teh blood vessels larger.. and that normal smoking makes your blood vessels constric becaus of the nicotine? jsut like nicotine raises blood pressure, and thc lowers it.

im no authority on this, but im very sure this is the case.
