Can I Smoke Marijuana Before Wisdom Teeth Extraction? Suffer From Anxiety

Hi, i am getting all four of my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow afternoon, and was wondering if it is okay to smoke a little marijuana before bed? ... (i know smoking marijuana isn't good for your general health.. but i do suffer from severe anxiety, and am REALLY freaking out about the procedure tomorrow.. ) so is it okay to smoke just a little to calm my nerves and make me more relaxed?

Hello and welcome to HCM forum,
I would like you to know that smoking marijuana 24 hrs before the surgical procedure does not usually interfere with tooth extraction, but kindly be careful not to smoke marijuana after extraction,it can lead to serious consequences.
If you have been prescribed any medications before tooth extraction then do not smoke marijuana at all.
I hope i answered your query,
i wish you good health
take care.
