Vasolidation

Post by BBE »

On Wikipedia I found one sentence regarding vasolidation that I find interesting:
"Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) - the major active chemical in marijuana. Its mild vasodilating effects redden the eyes of cannabis users."

I remember articles where I read about cases where people could walk right after smoking marijuana. Maybe because of that effect.

Another fact is that vasolidation leads to a decrease in blood pressure and I read that low BP was found helpful in MS too. My only concern is that my girlfriend with MS already has low BP which confuses me a bit :?

Hi BBE + your girlfriend!
You can also go to read both Slovak and a Czech MS forum. It is getting busy. You can find many posts from me and from others as well. Slovak doctor is on szsm.szm with us, too.
