Will taking cannabis in the form of edibles just after a hair transplant effect the growth/results?

I have heard that you should not smoke cannabis for at least one month after a hair transplant but I was wondering is it okay to digest it via edibles, will this have any negative repercussions on my hair transplant?

It is best to wait and allow the coin-sized area of necrosis to fully heal before transplanting grafts.

Personalized medical advice on the Internet without a good history and examination is inaccurate and may lead to confusion. It is best to speak with a expert who can help determine if your condition is DUPA.

If you are losing hair and want treatment options you should schedule a consultation with a doctor.The information you have is very limited and simplified and may not reflect realistic goals and expectations.Your photos show you may be heading towards a Norwood 6.
