Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
Thanks for your query . Nose bleeding occur after smoking marijuana because the linning of the nose or mucosa of nose get dry and minor touch or injury can make cut in it , which causes bleeding.
The headache is caused by dilation of blood vessels of brain when high and also gives the symptoms of concussion.
I would suggest you to quit smoking marijuana or keep your self well hydrate when smoking marijuana ,which is very important .
If such symptoms persist for longer time or occur frequently consult doctor for proper evaluation and treatment .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
