Not needed: if you are a habitual Marijuana user, remember it has health side effects and you should get on a program to stop it. If you are an occasional user, or wanted/used it for hand pain only, don't forget to mention it to the surgeon and anesthetist to make sure no interaction with other medicine used in a anesthesia occurs. Best of luck.

Vaping: I would ask the anesthesia doctor who will be applying the conscious sedation. Why take any risks without first discussing with your medical team? The doctors on HealthTap who provide general medical/ health education are NOT a substitute for your treatment team.

If you do Marijuana edibles occasionally. For example I have done Marijuana edibles about 4 times this year. Would that affect any anesthesia I would get for procedures or surgery?
