Leg edema from cannabis

Lately I have been developing a pitting edema every time I use cannabis. This happens when I smoke, use edibles or sublingual.
Anyone else has had the same issues?
Thanks!

edema on the lower legs indicates fluid buildup. fluid buildup indicates possible liver or kidney problems.

some medications can cause it. i had a failing liver and the edema was really bad. ankles hugely swollen. i had to lie down with my feet elevated for almost a year to control it.

i finally got a liver transplant.

cannabis could be changing your blood pressure and causing temporary symptoms but there will be an underlying problem

you should see a doctor and have basic bloodwork done.
