A member asked:
Diagnosed with eustachian tube dysfunction due to ear infection. taking antibiotics and steroid. okay to vaporize weed occasionally after it clears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Marijuana: Greetings. The Eustachian tube involvement with the ear infection should clear nicely with the antibiotic steroid combination. Smoking vaporized marijuana after your infection is in the earliest stages of healing may not be the best idea. You are particularly sedative to irritants and this exposure could make things worse.
