Smoking weed after mouth surgery?

I know this isnt about growing but thought this may be a sorted place to ask. Had surgery where im left with stitching on the inside and out of my cheek and they put my wisdom tooth back in place (no teeth are removed). Is it okay for me to still smoke weed? Surgery happened 2 days ago and wondering of any pain or possible infection (smoking the pure bud and the paper)
 
My roomate got sucker punched in the mouth while using a computer in a public library by a crazy guy with mental health issues. the dentist had to stitch back the top gum to the lip and over the teeth and also close the lower lip that got split in half from the inside all the way to the edge of the lower lip. it was a nasty injury, the dentist said he couldnt smoke anything for weeks, for a couple of days he would struggle to get the straw in his mouth just to eat, only liquid food. the third day he could suck from the straw with little pain so he asked me to roll him a joint and he smoked it, he kept smoking with no issues everyday since but when we went back to the dentist to get the stitches removed she explained how weed can help with the pain but it is an immune depressor so it makes the healing slower and increases risk of infection. i dont know if this helps but i dont think smoking its a big deal if you have good hygiene and overall good health
 
If suction is an issue (dry socket is an issue with newly removed teeth) you can get an electronic bowl that pumps the smoke out into your mouth. You just breathe normally and no suction is required. The only downside is it burns up your weed really fast. So not super efficient way to smoke, but will work with out causing pain issues.
 
Yah i got fucking socked by a group of lads. Seems from what ive read that infection is really the only thing i should be worried about and the healing process too sure. I am taking antibiotics too atm tho so that should also help. Sounds like this joint is about to be sparked.
 
Good idea Toker1. Any time that I've had oral surgery, the Doc even said not to use soda straws as well. One could lite up a joint or pipe and just inhale the smoke thru their nose and keep the negative pressure from affecting the wound.
 
Exactly! I couldn’t imaging experiencing that type of pain after an oral surgery with out smoking on something.
 
Just stop smoking for a few days. Why the hell would you chance it. Besides think how good the buzz will be when you start.
 
I do too but I always worry about it. My sister in law is a dentist and she’s given me horror stories. I also had a different dentist tell me it’s not as big a deal but could be very painful. I’ve never had any problems including hitting my aquapipe after getting my wisdom teeth pulled.
 
i cannot agree more. it takes at least a few days for the body to start making cannabinoids again so it gets hard to eat, sleep, controlling mood, etc... after a surgery is probably the worst time to go thru withdrawal for a heavy daily smoker
 
Yes, and Some people will never create as much as others can. Just like any other medication that produces chemicals your body can’t naturally create on its own.
 
i even think most heavy users at some level gravitate towards cannabis for that exact reason. weather they realize it or not, if the cannabinoid system in our bodies was balanced enough then cannabis wouldnt be so attractive or have such a big impact in our lives and quality of life. one could argue we got here by using more and more but now that cannabis is getting out of the closet is pretty obvious some people benefit a lot while others not so much
 
anything related to eating, energy intake, rest, sleep, mood and a bunch of other stuff we are now realizing its regulated by the cannabinoid system, and when i talk to doctors (have several in the family graduated after the 2000s) they still weren't thought in school about the cannabinoid system
 
Yes! Exactly!! I have family that owns urgent care facilities. They hire doctors all the time. Most doctors they run into are unaware of this entire system! Perhaps could be due to politics pulling the wool over peoples eyes. Just guessing.
 
Just having combustion by products and other assorted debris come in contact my new open wound in my mouth tells me maybe I should try to cool it a bit. I've recently had several implants and a couple of root canals. I thought it wise to heed the doctors advice. It served me well.
 
How about edibles?
A tooth cracked, got pulled. I don't know about your coughing tolerance, but when I smoked and coughed, my wound would bleed.
