I have a colonoscopy in one week. will smoking marijuana today and tomorrow have bad effects with the anesthesia during my colonoscopy?

Rx?: If not, the biggest threat might be legal. Also you don't mention the likely strength or the amounts. Never be excessive. If you're in a safe place - the physical effects should not present a problem in moderation I hope it all goes well.
