Any Related Risks In Smoking Marijuana Shortly Before A Tonsillectomy?
Are there any risks associated with smoking marijuana shortly before a tonsillectomy? I know afterwards it should be avoided in order to speed the recovery process and avoid bleeding, but there should be no risk of interaction with the anesthesia or anything else, right?

There is no such reported problems which may occur due to smoking marijuana before surgery. But why to do experiment with your self. Just dont smoke its a usual norm to be free from all addictive drugs before surgery.
