You'll need to discuss this with the oral surgeon who will be administering the anesthesia. They need to know exactly what drugs you are using to avoid complications during the procedure.

Daily marijuana will persist in your body for at least 30 days after cessation. Do fully inform your doctors about this, as your anesthesia dosing may need adjustment. If necessary, hold off on the procedure for about 4 weeks.
