Q: after having "twilight sleep" for a colonoscopy, is it harmful to vape marijuana later that day?

: Yes, you should avoid marijuana, alcohol, and any toxicants that day. You don’t know how your body will react to the anesthesia that you received for the procedure, so you certainly don’t want to add to it. By the following day, you will probably be fine. Good luck.
