Brief Answer:
Cannabis oil does not contribute to DVT risk

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Review of medical literature shows no significant increased risk of DVT when taking cannabis oil in cancer and it does not contribute to deep vein thrombosis in any way. However the INR must be regularly done in every DVT patient taking blood thinners.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
