Discover Cannabis that May Help With Hypertension

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), nearly half of all American adults (116 million) have hypertension, also known as high blood pressure. Having high blood pressure puts people at risk for heart disease and stroke, which are the leading causes of death in the United States.

Smoking cannabis may come with similar respiratory and circulatory system problems that smoking tobacco does. There are precious few clinical studies on cannabis and the blood, but there is some preliminary evidence to suggest that ingesting foods infused with cannabinoids may reduce heart rate and blood pressure.
