Reason not to smoke: This sounds like another good reason not to smoke it. You already have a BP problem! Unless you live in a place where it is legal, that's another! Finally, anything that causes a person to experience more than a very brief negative response in an important body system (cardio-vascular) is not something to do unless you absolutely have to. And you don't, so don't! Smarten up!

Marajuana use: Marajuana is not necessarily pure in form and may have other components, just like cigarettes, that are causing a reaction in your body, in your case elevated blood pressure. You should avoid the use of cannabis and see your doctor to followup with your blood pressure readings.
