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

April 28, 2018
Asked By:eldopeo in Amsterdam, NL

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?
