My son has pretty severe raynaud's and is a drummer and smokes quite a bit of weed. he is 28 yrs old. what are your thoughts on this?

My thoughts: include the need for a comprehensive physicial exam including blood and urine testing. Obviously smoking large amounts of weed may play a role and since your son is an adult, it is up to him.

Raynaud's: Smoking constricts blood vessels and thus can may circulation worse. Please ask you son to continue to see his doctor. Also ask doc about a natural product called Super Beets. It is made from beet root juice and helps promote circulation. Peace and good health.
