Can you smoke marijuana with high blood pressure?

Controversial : Cannabis can increase or decrease blood pressure depending on which study you read. There is an increased risk of acute myocardial infarction after cannabis use. I do not recommend smoking marijuana.

Yeah.: It tends to lower blood pressure in chronic users. I see it all the time in my patients at my medical marijuana clinic in Delaware.
