I actually quit smoking because my blood pressure was so high. Every time I’d smoke my heart would start racing. So I stopped. BP has come down slightly.

My understanding is thay weed typically reduces blood pressure and increases heart rate, likely one being the reflexive response to the other (I believe that BP drops, so HR increases in response to maintain the BP.

Ah ok. I didn’t know that. Thanks!

Any type of smoking (tobacco or cannabis) can potentially make you develop higher BP. Smoking stresses the heart.

Try edibles instead.
