What Causes Pressure In Forehead While Smoking Weed?

Hi Doc, I have recently started smoking weed and what I feel is that inside my forehead there is a lot of pressure like there is energy strongly focused in there. I say my forehead but it feel like it is my brain because it feels deep inside. Also on both sides of my head the same thing happens like there is pressure but it s continuos and feels like all that energy is travelling all around my brain but is most focused on the already mentioned areas. I ve gotten into meditation recently and when I m in deep thinking I feel the same pressure in my forehead but softer but it can always increase depending on my amount of concentration so it s not really something I have just experienced its just that weed seems to intensify the pressure in that area the most. I used to deal with depression and anxiety but now I m coming out of it and feel more at ease and sometimes I feel weed has made me realise and think better about what I was being depressed about. Thank you for your reply :)

Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the pressure feeling in forehead following weed smoking indicates:
- Physiologic changes carried out by the weed smoking
- Actions over neurotransmitter chemical signals
- Increase excitatory secretions such as serotonin
- Inhibition of inhibitory transmitters such as GABA

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
