Is having a lot of thc during a hip replacement ok?

Not really: It's going to diminish lung function a bit, and thereby indirectly affect healing and overall health, but it does not have the vasoconstrictive effect of tobacco, so not as bad.

THC: I would not advise it, due to interference with healing from compromising your respiratory functions.

Depends on where you: Live. Medically I do not see major problem with this. The beneficial effects of marijuana in pain management have been adequately documented and chances are you're up on your feet and doing better by using it. Having said that however i would not advocate the use it in any state in which it is illegal. That could result in a prison sentence. Isn't diversity a beautiful thing?
