Cannabis for Hypertension

According to modern medicine, “normal” blood pressure is 120/80. However, optimal pressure is not clearly defined. Some people are happy and healthy with either lower or slightly higher numbers.

However, the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure suggests that: “The risk of coronary vascular disease, beginning at 115/75 mm Hg, doubles with each increment of 20/10 mm Hg.”
