What Causes Bruising On The Upper Calf After Smoking Marijuana?
I have recently smoked marijuana for the first time and the next morning I woke up with bad bruises covering the better part of my upper calf. I have not done anything that can explain these bruises in the last few days. Could marijuana be the potential cause of these bruises?

Unfortunately, this is not a known side effect of marijuana. I would recommend seeing a medical professional who can examine it further, as well as get some routine screening blood work. You may also need an ultrasound to make sure there is no blood clot in the area. It sounds like you might have had some trauma to that area. I would try to avoid marijuana while it heals.
