One should refrain from using so that no elements of the drug are left in the body to cause complications. Even though Marijuana can be detected in urine or blood for up to a month after use, this is only because a remnant is stored in the fat cells. Active elements of the drugs are usually gone within a few days.

Smoking "anything" --- and that certainly includes marijuana, slows down (in some cases, dramatically) the healing process because of the tar and nicotine (and who knows what in marijuana). Also, the inhalation of any "smoking" puts pressure on the socket, further slowing down the healing process. Keep away from smoking for at least 5 to 7 days after surgery.

Does smoking pot a week before surgery make a difference?

It is critical that patients quit smoking all substances before surgery, including marijuana; these substances can have the same detrimental effects on surgery as nicotine. For example, they can make patients more or less susceptible to anesthetics. The carbon monoxide found in any kind of smoke affects blood pressure, making it more difficult for the blood to carry oxygen.Patients should feel comfortable telling their anesthesiologist if they have been smoking or using other substances before surgery, as this information will remain confidential and is important to their care.Source: http://www.lifelinetomodernmedicine.com/ArticlePage.aspx?ID=0f8af670-3cfb-47c3-b9f0-b54eb8f4528d&LandingID=fc6eb1da-98e4-43c7-bb9f-09c17e2a005dANS2:It would matter a great deal to me and to the American Medical Association if you were the surgeon who was smoking pot before surgery.
