Is it harmful to smoke marijuana after surgery?

Answer 1

It depends on the surgery but if it's something other than lung surgery, you'll be fine. Marijuana is prescribed for all different types of pain. A nice indica strain will do best for a numbing body high that is sure to kill the pain.

Answer 2

Hell yes my pot headed friend, weed is the best treatment of pain releif after you've had surgery. The fumes enhaled from the cannabis takes your mind off anything stressful. Depending on the treatment you had, you should decide which method would be most successful; A simple spliff if you have just had eye treatment, A bong if you've had a serious injury or Even putting the resin from the plant under your nose if you've had a bad head injury.

Answer 3

Using a substance that clouds your judgment and masks pain after surgery is probably a bad idea ("Mr. Chong, didn't you notice that your sutures had all ripped out and that your liver was dragging along on the floor behind you?" "No, man, I felt pretty good.")

Pain medications are almost always prescribed after surgery, and most if not all of them cloud your judgement in one way or another. Cannabis has been shown to be effective in pain mitigation, so shouldn't be any more harmful than say Oxycodone, Hydrocodone (Vicodin), or ibuprofen for that matter.

Answer 4

Of course not. In the first place, it isn't good to smoke under any occasion. Also, smoking weed after you have had any sort of surgery or incisions can cause a smoke fungus to grow in you mouth and can increase the chances of developing a cancer in the wound. Smoking alone can cause lung cancers that few people have ever survived. Be wise about you health.
