I was recently diagnosed with a "questionable small 2mm aneurysm near the left MCA bifurcation" which means one of the arteries at the base of the brain may be more dilated than normal."

I am going to consult with a neurosurgeon on March 16th but as of right now don't have any further tests scheduled.

Before my diagnosis, I managed to quit cigarettes (quit 4 months now) but one of my favorite things was to smoke a little pot every day. I would just sit in my bathroom, read a magazine, have a few puffs -- I enjoyed it so much and it never interfered with any part of my life. Now, I am afraid to because I am afraid it will rupture my annie.

I am sad because honestly, pot really helped with anxiety and helped me relax, it was sort of like a relaxing ritual, a friend. Of course, I haven't touched it since my diagnosis several days ago.

Is it a big risk? If so, would consuming it via eating be safe for me?

And while we're at it...do you think a few beers would hurt me? I like 2-3 Miller Lites in the evenings but I haven't had those either since the diagnosis.

FYI -- I have chronically low blood pressure which I hear is a good thing.

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks!
Angela

Sorry to hear of your problem. My thought is a glass of wine is good a day.Help with the blood ya know. I think cannibas has shown promiss with a lot of alemints dealing with pressure, emotional problems and pain pain. The way you administer , what you feel comfortable with is what makes you feel better quicker.I like the vaporizer myself. I have no M.D. but I see no reason why should change what has gotten you this far in life. And you feel no adverse affect from. To me most of all is to feel comfortable, since my T B I .If your not comfortable your not well.
