Surgery: If you have an extra $100k and years of your life you don't mind loosing to recovery, then it might be feasible.

Question 9

will smoking weed affect getting surgery? im getting put under for a circumscision

Accepted Answer

There : There are two issues here to consider, one the effect of smoking on recovery from surgery and the other the effect of the drug, marijuana itself. Marijuana contains chemicals called cannabinoids that affect the central nervous system.

Smoking affects the ability of the lungs to oxygenate and clear particles and mucous from the lungs.  In general, for an elective procedure, surgeons recommend to stop smoking a week before surgery to allow the lungs to recover from the effects of smoking.

Cannabinoids tends to interact with a number of medications generally decreasing their effects when combined with anesthetic agens and other medications during and after surgery.

Stop using marijuana at least 1-2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.
