I am a diabetic with damaged kidneys, which puts pressure on my
heart, and causes high blood pressure. One of the drugs I am
prescribed damages the kidneys when taken over a long period.
Either I take the tablets knowing that my kidneys will fail, or
stop taking the tablets and have a stroke.
Cannabis could lower my blood pressure without putting my kidneys
at risk. Should I have to make such a choice when there is an
alternative?
