A member asked:
I had a vitrectomy with silicone oil injection 12 days ago and was wondering if i would be okay to smoke weed at this point or if it would disrupt my healing process at this point?

There is no reason why you couldn't smoke weed. It will have no effect on the vitrectomy or the oil inside your eye as long as you do not get so high that you lose control and fall and strike your eye.
