Smoking weed: simple answer - NO! - first off you are under age - and thus its illegal second - while you may not be a regular smoker - you have no idea what you are smoking - and since marijuana stays in your body for up to 30 days with casual use - it might interfere with your anesthesia for your surgery. While the popular consensus is that marijuana is benign - it is still a psycho active drug
