Can ingestion of marijuana edibles slow down the healing process after a Rhinoplasty?

December 9, 2014
Asked By:jerry45 in Chicago, IL

I am a medical marijuana user and I was wondering if there were any harmful affects of eating marijuana foods while healing from a Rhinoplasty. I understand that smoking has it's negative effects, but would eating foods with marijuana in them have negative effects as well? Thanks
