What Are The Side Effect Of Marijuana?
I have used marijuana daily for about four years. In the last few weeks, I have developed headaches that are mainly behind my eyes. I stopped smoking it last Friday. I expected that to cause headaches. I still have them. I want to know if the daily usage could have caused the headaches originally.

Marijuana has several relevant effects to frontal headache. Smoking most anything can impair sinuses and lead to sinus congestion. Also, marijuana has a small but significant effect on blood pressue and the sympathetic nervous system.
