Blood clots are not the usual consequence of pot. But you should let your doc know for he/she will take that into consideration when prescribing any meds

You describe a recent critical complication and you should not proceed independently to add recreational drugs without a concerted discussion with your treatment team. Furthermore, these days, even cannabinoids can be laced with additives such as Fentanyl.
