All I can get
|
Hadn't touched the stuff in over 25 years, and even then it wasn't my bag.
But what the hey, it's now legal and I can get a prescription now.
So I tried it. I ordered online.
An ex-cigarrette smoker (coming up on ten years), I approached it with some trepidation. Don't want the weed to be the gateway drug back to tobacco.
I'm meh.

Looks like there are some schools right on campus (daycare, kindergarten etc.) and enough of them in the right place that essentially the entire university is off limits to retail. Brentwood is the closest commercial area that is allowable and there is one store there.

Although you can buy and smoke pot in Quebec, you can’t buy a shirt with a picture of it. Provincial inspectors have told shop owners that selling items that appear to promote cannabis could result in fines of up to $62,500

You can't advertise smoking. You can (generally) smoke in public.
You can advertise liquor. You can't drink in public.
It's just ... odd.

Can cannabis reduce hypertension? Particularly chronic hypertension associated with stress?

Bottom line: much more research needed with respect to cannabis and cardiovascular effects.
One article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5542986/

My heart can race for 10 minutes after getting super baked, that could be a nasty thing to add on top of hypertension. There might be something to smoking small amounts that will reduce short term stress and have a positive impact in the long run, but you'd be going rogue at that point. It's a personal call if that would be a worthwhile experiment.
e: I also like to get ripped and sweat buckets in hot yoga, so I may not be the best person to take advice from.

Honestly, clothes with weed leaves on them should be illegal for bad style anyways.
I'm an avid smoker, but I don't see why anyone would walk around with a hat with a pot leaf on it.

Purolator is always the way to go. A bit pricey, but for faster and more reliable service, I'm a fan. Canada Post wasn't bad until the strikes started, that said.

While I was walking my dog today, I met a guy Confederate flag hat. It said "Rebel since 1865". He was walking two shih tzus on neon pink and lime green Flexi leashes, respectfully. My dog walked right up to him, plunked her ass down and got her head scratched while he talked baby talk to her for a good thirty seconds. #### that ####### with his own hat.
What you put on your head goes says a lot about your level of cool.

You would best be served to have physician guidance on this (I highly recommend Spring Medical springmed.ca) but CBD might offer help
