Tetrahydrocannabinol, the main psychoactive chemical in marijuana, can be used as a mild vasodilator, which means it relaxes the 'smooth muscles' in the blood vessels, causing dilation and lower blood pressure. This is the same medical reason used in glaucoma patients (lower blood pressure helps relieve intraocular hypertension, hence the reddened eyes), even over periods of 20 or more years. Although this answer is based on medical fact and science, all concerns should be voiced to your doctor before consuming any substances.

∙ 13y agoI am not a regular smoker, smoked few times a year when friendly smokes are around, and have high blood pressure at age over 50. My friend told me about smoking weed brings down BP so I tried. A minute after 3 hits my BP went down to 118/82 from 144/98, HOLY COW, and it stayed down below 130/90 without further smoke. Another 3 hits, this is about much less than a quarter of a joint, after 24 hours BP went down to 110/78, EUREKA!
I believe government and drug companies know about the fact marijuana decreasing BP but plays blinded you know what money. Pharmaceutical company will have to give up Billions. How inexpensive is it to conduct a simple test smoking and checking BP. It is conspiracy playing and hiding all natural best medicine for High Blood Medicine.

∙ 13y agoI've read many places that is being used as a treatment for hypertension, which is basically high blood pressure. Although, I was suspected of being high at school one time and had been administered a blood test. They said because mine was high, it meant I had smoked before school. I had, but it was mid way through the day. I know it was stupid, and the more I read about it lowering blood pressure the more I get angry lol.
