Talk to doctor: Medical marijuana is still controversial though legal in some states: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_cannabis. You should discuss pros /cons with the person's doctor with proper consent.

YES, avoid!: there is increasing scientific evidence demonstrating that marijuana increases risk of stroke itself (in this case you would be at risk of recurrent stroke), in addition to other negative neurological and cognitive problems.
