Can Smoking Meth And Anesthesia Cause Any Problem?

Hello, I smoked some meth yesterday (Wednesday) a very small amount & scheduled to go under anesthesia next Wednesday I guess you can say a week from now. Would that small amount affect me being under anesthesia? Last time I did meth was in May btw. Thank you,

You should be okay if it's been a week or longer before the anesthesia. But avoid further drug use (including aspirin) until after your procedure. Many drugs if they're still in your system can interact with the anesthetic and cause dangerous side-effects. Also they can affect recovery from the procedure you're having. Aspirin for example can cause excessive bleeding if surgery is being performed. Hope this answers your query.
