A member asked:
Is it harmful to smoke marijuana a few days before an eye corrective surgery (prk)? thank you!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Harmful: Sounds like a bad idea. The intentional habit of inhaling burning organic material, combined with various chemicals used in the growing and manufacturing of that material (regardless of whether it is tobacco, marijuana, or any other plant) is bad for the body. Just think about it. Who would intentionally start something burning and inhale the stuff over and over and over?
