A member asked:
I have an angiogram in a couple of weeks, is it safe to smoke marijuana a few days before?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
What for?: It is never safe to smoke weed. It would be prudent to avoid this drug. Just because it is legal does not make it safe!

Shouldn't affect BUT: If you're having an angiogram & > 40 years old my guess is a doctor thinks you may've an obstruction of a blood vessel, perhaps your neck, perhaps your leg, etc. We know that smoking ANYTHING, cigarettes, MJ's, or cigars, increases the risk of arterial plaque (GUNK) so while smoking won't DIRECTLY affect the test result in 3 days it may be one reason WHY you're having the test. Think about it. GL
