What Causes Numbness In The Leg After Smoking Marijuana?

I have a streched patellar tendon and I smoked marijuana. I m still recovering, but last month when I smoked the cannabis,it caused my leg to go numb and I believe I broke the fluid sac that surrounds my tendon to heal as I felt fluid go down my knee and the pain was excruciating. Mind telling me why that happened?

Hi,

Cannabinoids lead to increased awareness of sensations. Its the probable reason of having excruciating pain as well as being aware of even the fluid mobility.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
