A member asked:
Im having knee surgery to level my knee cap wit my patella is it okay to smoke weed one week before surgery?

It is not going to: have any particular impact on your surgery, although cigarette smoking will. An anesthesiologist will interview you prior to your surgery about your anesthesia risks, and I always recommend that people be honest in that evaluation.
