Should I Take Cannabis Only?

I take amlodipine and propanoral and zoloft . My blood pressure has still be high 160/120 when entering docotrs offices and 140/80 at home . But recently I started to try cannabis and my blood pressure latley has been healed and is at 114/64. Or 119/74. But I have not taken my last dose of propanoral tonight . I hope it doesn t lower my bp to much . I use to be on serquel and xanax also but I told the docotr I do not wanna take them anymore they are so dangerous and cannabis is safer and seems to help more with everything going on in my body . Anxiety muscle spasms pains headaches high blood pressure and insomnia i also had rapid wieght loss and was on to many pills I rather just stick with one safe thing .

Effect of cannabis for controlling blood pressure is not clear as well the long term side effects and drug dependency is also not clear. Yes it is good to have for short term control of symptoms like related to heart and blood pressure. I must suggest to check with your doctor and if you are feeling good then can take this for time being. At the same time focus more on doing regular walking, jogging, or cycling activity and diet control to control your blood pressure with your regular medication with minimum use of it. I mean reduce dose of medication. Take care.
