Not sure what you%26#039;re looking for then...

I haven%26#039;t done any research on this, so I%26#039;m not really qualified to give an answer.

I%26#039;ve smoked for several years and not had any blood pressure problems, even though they%26#039;re prevalent in my family.

A friend of mine has also smoked for several years. He had to stop for two weeks so he could pass a drug test for a job, but when they gave him a physical, he had a high B/P. He started smoking again and it went back down to normal.

I%26#039;ve never heard of pot increasing your heart rate by 50% - we%26#039;d have a ton of hypertensive 16-year-olds!

If smoking weed relaxes you, go for it, (THIS IS MY opinion) if you are parinoid and stressed when smoking, it probabily won%26#039;t help. As a person with high blood pressure, I can tell you that it is very much your choice.TRy meditation! Avoid GUILT. I%26#039;d never listen to a person telling ME it%26#039;s bad for my heallth either!

Have a happy, happy!
