I am set to have a deviated septum (and the fracture that caused it) fixed. Can I smoke cannabis the day before?

Question

Will this cause any serious complications? How long beforehand should I stop if I need to? How long should I wait to smoke again after the surgery? This is my break after a hard semester at school, so I really would like to be able to smoke at least a little bit.

I do not recommend smoking anything both before and immediately after your surgery. I would carefully follow all your doctor's preoperative and postoperative instructions. Best of luck!

Is best not to smoke any type of products in the immediate time. Before and after your surgery. This will allow optimum healing.  Best to check with your operative surgeon about their protocols
