Abstract The associations between blood pressure and cannabis use remain inconsistent. The purpose of our study was to examine gender stratified associations of cannabis use and blood pressure [systolic, diastolic…
Condition: Blood Pressure
A single dose of cannabidiol reduces blood pressure in healthy volunteers in a randomized crossover study
Abstract BACKGROUND. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a nonpsychoactive phytocannabinoid used in multiple sclerosis and intractable epilepsies. Preclinical studies show CBD has numerous cardiovascular benefits, including a reduced blood pressure (BP) response…
Cannabis Use and Blood Pressure Levels
Abstract Objective—Pre-clinical studies have reported acute cardiovascular effects of cannabis including a dose-dependent increase in blood pressure while orthostatic hypotension may follow as a result of decreased vascular resistance….

Cannabinoid-induced mesenteric vasodilation through an endothelial site distinct from CB1 or CB2 receptors
ABSTRACT Cannabinoids, including the endogenous ligand arachidonyl ethanolamide (anandamide), elicit not only neurobehavioral but also cardiovascular effects. Two cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2, have been cloned, and studies with the…
