Hi. just had successful acl surgery. can i smoke marijuana a few days after or should i have a marijuana cookie?

Yes: Congratulations on the successful surgery. Marijuana is a relatively benign herb that may help relieve your post-operative discomfort. I know of no evidence it will impair your recovery. It should be safe to use either by smoking or in oral forms, whichever you prefer.
