joint before op

[sickman]

i smoke maybe once every 2-3 weeks (very little)... i know its bad but all my mates do it and we have our little sessions
weve got a session together this saturday
thats exactly a week prior to my op
can i join in and get stoned?
is it safe before op?
i can easily say no if itll affect my op and recovery...

I smoked prior to and directly after surgery. I'm not a doctor though.

[rowdy99]

smoke 'em if ya got 'em...

i didn't smoke before but burned a few as i've been recovering.  i'm no doctor either but it helps with the pain and makes ya forget about all the bad stuff that goes along with post-op!

There is very strong evidence that Marijuana lowers the Testosterone level.

Almost every medical site that has a list of possible causes of Gynecomastia include Marijuana somewhere on the list.

The link is not strong enough to say that Marijuana causes Gynecomastia. Obviously there are many regular uses who do not have the condition. The link is strong enough though that a thinking man should be wary. Clearly Gynecomastia is more common among Marijuana users.

Dude...

I highly (sorry for the pun  ) doubt that smoking a few dubes prior to surgery will do any harm...

THANK YOUU haha
i highly benefit from that answer

[Grandpa Bambu]

Keep in mind however, that smoking decreases the amount of oxygen in your body and can be a hindrance during surgery/recovery. If you must, keep it to a minimum dude...

is around 7 joints too much?
cos we're gonna hit more
i just need to know where to stop in our session tonight
sorry about the weed talk

For the record... I am in no way encouraging you to smoke mind altering substances. Personally, I don't think that you should be partaking in such activies...  Just a disclaimer dude.... I don't want to go to jail for encouraging pot smoking... 

That said, it's your body/life dude, you are the only one who can decide what you do....

[sickman]

ah i understand completely... i dont think ur encouraging, just answering my questions lol
but u didnt answer my question this time
ah well, ill take it easy tonight
peace !

[Grandpa Bambu]

u didnt answer my question this time

For me dude, 2 draws is good enough... It all depends how often you partake...   

So nobody can really tell you how much is minimal. Geeze dude, go out and have fun...  U only live once!
