I have a wrapped open wound in on my leg, i have taken antibiotics and now stopped. will smoking marijuana hashish increase risk of infection?

No: Certainly not directly. If you do risky contaminated things while high, who knows? But not smoking the weed itself - don't worry unless legal problems arise.
