How Long After Receiving Rhinoplasty/septoplasty Can One Ingest Medical Marijuana Edibles?

December 5, 2012
Asked By:Mallory Bainbridge in Bainbridge Island, Washington

I am healing from a rhinoplasty as well as a septoplasty, have a medical marijuana card and the vicodin doesn't seem to be helping with the pain that much. I am well aware of not smoking cannabis, but can I eat it instead to help with my pain relief?
