Research indicates that taking weed tea helps in halting the increase in blood pressure. The tea accomplishes this by easing blood vessel tension. The result is a lowered risk of strokes and heart attacks.

We are not advocating for unnecessary weight gain. However, in some incidents where a person is severely malnourished and needs to put up some weight, weed tea is necessary. Marijuana tea acts as an appetizer, helping the individual to eat. The tea is an excellent remedy for those that are undergoing chemotherapy. Such individuals need to eat to counter the effects of chemo and loss of weight.

4. Aids in Managing Sleep Disorders

Depending on the weed tea preparation process and the type of cannabis you used, the tea can be the best sedative. If you are battling insomnia or any other sleeping disorder for that matter, use weed tea as your number one sleep-inducing agent.
