Can Smoking Marijuana Cause Cerebral Hemorrhage And AVM Rupture Recurrence?
i'm 31 and I've been smoking marijuana since I was 13. In 2001 I had a cerebral hemorage due to a avm rupture. I had quit smoking just 7 months before that. I underwent 3 stages of embolization and a treatment of gamma knife. I started smoking 3 months after all this. I now want to quit but am afraid that I will have another rupture because maybe my body and brain need the thc. Please help.

it's a stretch. While marijuana causes an increase in blood pressure and heart rate...it isn't as much as running up 2 flights of stairs.
oh.. quitting...
no, no risk of withdrawal increasing stress hormones. The withdrawal from marijuana only causes psychological issues. That occurs in a minority of individuals.
