Some studies have suggested that CBD may help manage hypertension or high blood pressure. However, due to illegality issues that have surrounded CBD for many years, research to back the CBD's medical properties on humans is lacking. 
Even so, CBD is thought to have potential therapeutic effects, including anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, antipsychotic, etc. Although available data suggest that CBD can help relax veins and arteries, there's no evidence that CBD can help with hypertension in humans. 
However, studies on animals suggest that CBD may help increase blood flow and possibly lower blood pressure.
