A member asked:
Wonder if my past marijuana use will effect my upcoming minor surgery (general anesthesia) in about a months time. thanks?

I doubt it: It seems unlikely, especially if you stop a month ahead of time.

It shouldn't: However, traces of thc remain in the system for a rather long time. 30 days should be sufficient for the drug to clear your system completely, but the key will be any use between now and then.
