Smoking Weed Before Surgery

my friend is going to have her wisdom teeth removed tomorrow and she is a heavy pot smoker. im pretty sure they put you under when they take your wisdom teeth out. if she smokes tomorrow will she be at risk?

You are put under general anaesthetic (put under). Honestly, she could probably be okay as long as she tells them she's a SMOKER. That way they'll monitor her respiration even closer. Pot is a downer but it's probably going to be okay since they'll be monitoring her. It will probably keep her calmer before surgery, too. I'm not condoning it but I think it's not going to be "that" much of an influence, especially if she's "normally" stoned.
