Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Research has been done on the anticoagulant property of cannabinoids in rats. Following is the interpretation of results as published in medical literature.
Blood coagulation studies were conducted to determine the possible anti-/prothrombotic effect of an organic cannabis extract and the three major cannabinoids, THC, CBD and CBN. The study thus shows that Cannabis sativa and the cannabinoids, THC.
From the above information it is seen that cannabinoids and THC can cause delayed clotting. More study needs to be done on the topic before it can be tested in humans.
Hope this helps
