Dr. Whitley | Podiatrist • Foot Pain & Shoes

We talk a lot about how marijuana can affect the brain and lungs—but what about your circulation? 🌿🦶🏾

Some research has found an association between marijuana use and peripheral artery disease (PAD).

PAD happens when narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your legs and feet. That matters because poor circulation can contribute to symptoms like leg pain with walking, cold feet, and wounds that are slow to heal.

Association doesn’t automatically mean marijuana causes PAD—but it’s another reason your circulation matters when we talk about foot health.
