Does marijuana cause decreased blood flow to the brain?

Answer 1

Yes, it increases blood flow and decreases cramping because the properties in the cannabinoids cause the relaxation of the muscles including the cervix, at least this is what I have personall experienced over the past years. I am a woman of 32 and have serious medical "feminine" issues. I menstruate every two and half to three weeks, and have cramping to the point that I am bent over in half and can't breathe, much less do anything but cry in pain with my husband on the sidelines helplessly trying to figure out what he can do. This is a regular occurance and I've been to doctor after doctor, have had laperoscopy, evaluations, etc. and there hasn't been one doctor out there that could tell me what was wrong. So they wanted to remove the problem, but I can't afford the surgery, so I have used marijuana as a means to manage the pain that I experience. I also experience extensive clotting the size of Golf-balls or greater that make for the pain in the cervix to increase as they pass and there has not been one pill out there that they have made that works. I'll have my master's soon, I plan on doing research in the field, unfortunately though because of the way the laws are, who's gonna hire someone that uses marijuana and chooses that over a pill (something which I'll never fully know what is in it because of all the chemicals). With marinol, it'd be nice if it worked for the menstruation, but there is no interaction between the cannabinoids as they are not all extracted for pill form and the interaction beteen these different components is what helps to ease the pain and manage coping some throughout the day and feel as if I can survive the menstruation. Without it, I'd be in the hospital every two and half to three weeks.

Opinion 1

No, it will just heighten the feeling of them.

Opinion 2

Actually, I find that marijuana does help because it allows my body to relax and possibly fall asleep.

Opinion 3

I actually find that marijuana helps you calm down, you feel no pain and your able to relax and maybe even catch a nap and also its a great night time medicine because if you have problems sleeping, a few hits of weed would help you sleep a good nights rest and you will feel AWESOME in the morning....

Oh yea some researchers show that weed is a pain medicine, and you can gain weight too if your underweight.

Opinion 4

I NEVER SMOKE MARIJUANA OR DO DRUGS, BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT WHEN I HAVE CRAMPS I CAN TAKE A COUPLE OF HITS & BE COMPLETELY BETTER

Answer 3

Longitudinal studies of adolescent marijuana users show that marijuana harms developing brains, with a difference in IQ of about 8 points between users and non-users of the drug. The studies also show that these IQ points are not recovered in adulthood after quitting. It isn't necessarily due to decreased blood flow, but the drug's effect on the developing brain (brains keep developing until age 25 or 26).
