Question:
Does anyone know how marijuana effects a person after the BPD/DS?
I know this is probably a real touchy subject, but I was wondering if any Post-Ops had any input regarding the effects of Marijuana after surgery? I hope no one is offended by this question...Thanks. — [Anonymous] (posted on September 11, 2000)

same wsy it did before...psychogenically...are you referring to the
infamous munchies? In that case, I would have concern about the craving to
eat, a reduced stomach size and a reduced capacity to make rational
conscious decisions and choices. Beyond that, let the good times roll...

Even though I'm still pre-op and have no idea what the answer to your
question is, I would hope that you're talking about smoking it and not
eating it in brownies. lol. My husband - who always checks my email to
see what questions are being asked - said the exact same thing when he read
your question. Like several people before me said, though, I'd be
concerned about the munchies mostly.

I am 5 weeks post-op and have not smoked pot before. I tried it once and
found it great for pain and mood control. It made me thirsty so I was able
to get my water in, wich I wasnt able to do before, and I just felt
generally better. It is inportant to keep in mind not to over-do any
activity due to the pain control, and resist those munchies!

Bob this totally drug free member is curious as to why I've seen many posts
on this site about alcoholism, people abusing prescription narcotics, and
such but this thread is not allowed? Is it against the law or is it just
this site doesn't want to deal with? (very curious as I thought we were
supposed to support all our members in all their situations and troubles)

I believe its because its illegal. The others 7you mentioned arent criminal
offenses usually.

First and formost we all know the laws for drugs, that was not the
question, and to answer the question the effect is based upon your prior
experience with marijuana, it will relax you and make you somewhat thirsty,
depending upon the person you may or may not get the "munchies".
Treat it as if you have in the past for all long term weed smokers, and
current ones go slow on the draw, you do not want to cough hard and hurt
your stomach the same way with laughter, you don't want to laugh to hard.

I would like to point out that in my state, medical use of marijuanna is
completely legal. I think this topic should be discussed here, it is up to
the individual to know what their legal obligations are in the particular
state they live in.
