Sure but NO: Sure you can but I wouldn't because it could lead to a deeper level of sedation during IV and possible other complications with the anesthesiologist not wanting to do the case if they know that you did. It is your risk.

Marijuana Dependence: I understand your desire to relax. Let the Wise Person within you ask: •I/V Sedation is given to avoid pain, and Dentist will follow you for any pain after extraction. •Dependence on Marijuana •Dependence on other drugs and Alcohol •Effects on your body, mind, relationships, school, work •Breathing and Music Relaxation •Need to see Psychiatrist for coping with stress and Dependence •NA Meetings

Not wise: Marijuana can adversely affect the IV sedation. Please, if you do smoke, advise the Oral Surgeon. Your anesthesia may need to be adjusted, or the procedure may have to be postponed. Report ALL Meds, prescription & OTC, as well as all supplements, to the Oral Surgeon as well as any marijuana consumption.
