I had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy today and was curious if I could use medical marijuana for pain relief instead of the prescribed medications. Is it safe, or should I avoid it?
It's generally best to avoid smoking anything, including medical marijuana, immediately after surgery like laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Smoking can irritate your lungs and slow healing. You should follow your doctor's pain management plan, and if you're considering marijuana, discuss it with them first for safe guidance.
