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

Asked By:maxvb in Atlanta, GA

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.
