Brief Answer: Does not interfere with blood letting Detailed Answer: Hi dear.Thanks for writing on HCM. Both wine and pot increase his blood pressure and have ill effects on the heart and blood vessels. According to me, cannabis makes his blood thicker and interfere with anti-platelet drug function though it might not directly affect blood letting treatments. Hope this answers your query.
