A member asked:
If someone is being treated for hypertension, would recreational use of marijuana help or hurt the condition?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Danger: Within a few minutes of beginning to smoke marijuana, heart rate and blood pressure increase -- among many other effects. This would not be good for someone who already has hypertension. http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/marijuana-use-and-its-effects.
