Can I Smoke Marijuana After The Extraction Of Teeth?
Hey Doc , Well i got all four of my wisdom teeth out today and I was wondering if i can smoke marijuana with my sockets covered with gauzes and after I finish smoking taking amoxcillin to prevent dry socket or any infections would that work ? What do you recommend

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Smoking can increase drug metabolism and could make it little ineffective. Better to avoid it with antibiotic. After antibiotic, you have restart smoking. If you want to smoke, it can do it occasionally due to absence of any major interaction between amoxicillin and cannabis, but you have to smoke in control dose.
Thanks
