How Safe Is Smoking During A Brain Arteriovenous Malformation?
i was diagnosed with a brain avm, and also malabsorption of b12, i had my right side numb and problems with speech, writing, unbalance, problems with vision, headaches, and body jerks for two weeks... my question is, is it safe to smoke pot with the avm and b12 diagnostic? i usually smoke it because it helps with anxiety and headaches

i think you should definitely avoid the pot, especially in the view of AVM. the fact is that the pot manages to raise your blood pressure, the raised blood pressure puts the avm at the risk of bleeding. the bleed in the brain is quite a serious condition.
