Define: Thins blood.

If one were to raise their heart rate by smoking weed, would the faster blood flow make the drug in question get to the brain faster?

TS's question has me wondering this now (not that SWIM would care about waiting an extra minute for drug effects).

Depending on what kind of drugs SWIY takes, I don't think getting the drugs through the blood into the brain is the issue, it's getting it into the blood that usually takes the most time.

Aspirin does not thin blood. It is An antiplatelet drug. or anti clotting drug. At least in the way swiy is thinking about it.

Blood thinning is a term used by medical professionals for the anti-clotting effect.

Aspirin in low doses, eg 75-100mg, does not have this effect and is used instead as an anti-clotting or blood-thinning agent. Low doses of aspirin prevent the production of thromboxane by blood cells called platelets. Thromboxane is one of the chemicals that causes platelets to clump together and start off the clotting process. Stopping its production therefore reduces the likelihood of clots forming in the blood. Clots in the blood can cause a heart attack or stroke, and low dose aspirin is therefore used to prevent this in people who are at risk. See the factsheets linked at the end of this page for more information about this use of aspirin.

Aspirin is also used in the emergency situation of a heart attack. Anyone who has the symptoms of a heart attack (chest pain, possibly radiating towards the arm or neck, shortness of breath) should take one 300mg aspirin tablet as soon as possible, as this has been shown to increase the chances of surviving a heart attack. This is because the aspirin prevents the blood clot that is blocking the supply of blood to the heart from growing any bigger.
