Q: Smoking Cannabis after surgery

asked by: eangheben on October 29th, 2009

I had a surgery to correct a deviated septum and would like to know if smoking pot will slow the healing process or make it faster or would not affect it at all.

Thanks

Not sure how it affects the healing process. However, my husband used cannabis after an emergency appendectomy to manage pain (he does not care to use the narcotics which are always prescribed). He found that it worked very well, and made recovery much more manageable for him.

Either way, good luck.
