A member asked:
When after a stroke can i start smoking weed again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Would delay a while: Best to start a substantial recovery for at least 6-8 weeks, as you will react differently to marijuana if you have suffered chemical changes in your brain due to stroke. There is no magic timeline, but anticipate a very different outcome due to recent events. Might work closely with your doctor and even a counselor.
