A member asked:

How long should i wait to smoke marijuana after an excision of a pilonidal cyst surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Forever: No good will come for using the weed. If you have managed without the weed during surgery, it would be a good idea to not get started again. Quit while you are ahead.
