Brief Answer:
Vaporizing is fine
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query. It is fine to take few little puffs 6 days after a cataract surgery. No need to wait if you are to take it. However, you need to keep in consideration that coughing or vomiting are to be preferably avoided and so are any triggers. I wouldn’t smoke because of the possibility of coughing. If you want to use the respiratory route you may want to try vaporizing, or it may be more prudent to use an under-the-tongue spray or other routes of oral administration.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
