Hi i just got circumcised 2days ago and was given hydromorphone 2s but i wanted to know how smoking weed would affect my healing process??

Healing: To my knowledge there are no studies on healing impairment while smoking marijuana. Tobacco has been shown to slow healing time and also overtime will decrease blood flow to distal organs (penis, skin) because of its risk to cause atherosclerosis and vasoconstriction.
