The coagulation of blood is a complex process during which blood forms solid clots. It is an important part of hemostasis (the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel) whereby a damaged blood vessel wall is covered by a fibrin clot to stop hemorrhage and aid repair of the damaged vessel.
Pot is for losers

Well researchers suggest that 'air pollution' can 'thicken' the blood, hence the (theorised) increased risk of heart disease/stroke.
Other things that can increase blood viscosity are dehydration, protein-producing tumours (e.g. multiple myelomas), thrombocytosis, etc.
Hope this helps.
