A member asked:
Is smoking weed affects the broken bone healing?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Smoking anything can reduce blood flow in the capillary beds that aid in healing. If you are okay with it taking an extended period to heal it is not a big problem. If you want to get back to normal sooner avoid it.

Smoking weed is more than delaying the healing of bones. Marijuana is a psychoactive drug and will mess with your brain. MJ users are called stoners for good reason. Quit using it while you are ahead. Wish you good health!
