Pot Smoking after Surgery

....you are still around!

so how long did you wait then?

Wait before what? :)

After surgery!  I waited about two weeks. I'm almost 2 years out now, down over 240lbs maintains at 170. I'm VERY happy...and imbibing right meow!

that is great very happy for you and thank you for answering my question. my surgery is set for April 4th.

I am going to be undergoing Gastric Bypass surgery on March 4th.  In my past I was a serious pot smoker.  I smoked every day.  To anyone who says pot is addictive, I have to say I strongly disagree. After I stopped smoking pot, I eventually started using Roxicet, or "Blues".  Those are addictive.  Basically legal synthetic heroin.  I have 2 years clean from all substances but after surgery I am concerned about the painkillers.  I would like to smoke pot instead of going back on Narcotics, but because of my situation, I can't see that happening.  I live in a halfway house and work at a Outpatient center for Trauma and Addiction treatment.  Also my state doesn't have legal pot for medical use.  I also suffer from severe depression and anxiety and Pot really helped with those.  I don't know what I am going to do but I wanted to share that as someone who has faced serious addiction, Marijuana is not addictive. The word addictive gets thrown around a lot and is used in the wrong way many times.  Pot can be "habit-forming" but habit is not addiction.  There is a very clear difference between marijuana and addictive substances.
