Will Medical Marijuana Help Lower Triglyceride And LDL Cholesterol Level?

Hi I have hyperlipidema and my triglyceride level is 300 which is twice of the normal level and my LDL cholesterol is very high as well and I'm very close to developing diabetes and heart disease runs in my family as well. I am wondering if medical marijuana helps lower these levels as Ik that a diet and excersize would help as well.

Hyperlipidaemia can more easily be reduced by regular exercise high intake of fruits & vegitables along with less intake of fatty substance then why to go for an addictive substance. Pl don't go for it.
