Question for my Mary Jane smokers

[Amarie812 11]

Does smoking marijuana before ir after surgery affect anyone at all. Do you still get the munchies after the surgery when you do smoke?

Surgery was Monday march 24th I smoked up until surgery an was cleared by my surgeon to smoke again 3 days post op. Just avoid coughing as it can cause discomfort in early days. I do not have the munchies now.

I would think that smoking of any substance would comparable to smoking tobacco post-op. Tabacco smoking post-op is linked with longer healing period and increases the risk for infection and other complications. I would say wait at least 8 weeks post op before smoking just to be safe.
