A member asked:

After menisscus surgery, can i smoke medical marihuana?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not if it's illegal: I would not ever mix it with standard pain meds. In addition, there are over 600 chemicals in smoked marijuana. We of course did not know all the interactions between pain medications and pot so it would not be cool to combine them. I assume they already gave you crutches. Don't add a third one.:).
