A member asked:
Is it safe for a medical marijuana user to have anesthesia and a colonoscopy? i use medical marijuana daily to manage headaches and pain from cervical spinal stenosis with radiculopathy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Regular use of cannabinoids can affect dose of anesthetics and analgesics. You can undergo the procedure, but need to let all doctors know of your usage so they can prepare appropriately. Also, ask about positioning so your neck will be supported.
