A member asked:
Can marijuana slow down the healing process of a wound or broken bones?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Medical marijuana: Probably not. Marijuana works as an anti-inflammatory. This means it can help with tissue swelling.

Not likely. : If you're concerned, ask the doctor treating your wound or broken bone. You always want your doctor to know everything you're taking medicinally.
