Headaches!!!

how well does the weed work at getting rid of your migraines?

i'm not sure but when you have a migraine it opens up the blood vessels in your head more, the opposite of headaches, which tighten. it could be vice versa. anyway, that is why headache pills dont work for migraines, because they are going for the wrong thing.


just found this:

this is from www.migraines.org...:

"Migraine is disease, a headache is only a symptom. Migraine pain is caused by vasodilation in the cranial blood vessels (expansion of the blood vessels), while headache pain is caused by vasoconstriction (narrowing of the blood vessels). During a migraine, inflammation of the tissue surrounding the brain, i.e., neurogenic inflammation, exacerbates the pain. Therefore, medicine often prescribed to treat a headache, such as beta-blockers, dilate the blood vessels and therefore can make a Migraine worse. "
