Headache from the weed?

[ATrain]

Anybody here get headaches after they have smoke up? I usually smoke at night and more often then not I fall asleep while high. But recently if I smoke during the daytime (Today for example), I have a killer headache a few hours after my high is gone.

Is it unrelated to the MJ or do other people get this?

Thank for the help!

Not unless I smoke some dirt weed, which I don't smoke anymore.

cannabis plants are to be waterd only with water for one week before harvest, whoever grew that weed you are smoking probably didn't flush the soil one week before harvest, if the soil is not flushed before harvest the weed will be toxic with plant nutrients and it will taste bad and you will have headaches too

You have to also remember that cannabis can lower and raise the blood pressure in your head (and eyes).

Lower blood pressure while standing. Higher blood pressure while sitting (note that this can lead to instances of orthostatic hypotension, also known as head rush).

Are you sitting when you smoke?

THC dilates peripheral blood vessels ( that's why you get red eyes) and some varieties can dilate blood vessels in the meninges ( the covering of your brain) which can cause a headache. I suspect there may be a predisposition in some people towards this. It's harmless but very uncomfortable.

If you tolerate them, you can take a NSAID like aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) before you indulge and see if this prevents it. Maybe check with your doctor as to the best preventative.

I've been told that Indicas are less likely to cause headaches. I only use prescription THC ( which can definitely give me headaches) so I have no experience in this. Anybody?

The most likely reason you get headaches is because of a shit diet
