Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Marijuana doesn’t help but can worsen your disease condition. You can consult a physician and start on anti-hypertensives. ACE inhibitors land ARB sile Captopril and Losartan are the better options for you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
