Can I Smoke Marijuana While Recovering From DVT?

I was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism from post surgery about a year ago. Proceeded with treatment. About 2 months ago, I was diagnosed with a dvt. Currently on warfarin. Chest is clear but there is still residual clotting in the leg that is clearing up. Can I smoke marijuana?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Any smoke, or any tobacco can effect the lungs, fatally. You are not cured completely of the deep vein thrombosis.
Now it is not advisible to think of the marijuana, especially with the permission of the doctor. D.V.T. is also a result of the smoking , atherosclerosis, and thrombosis.
If you have it now, the thrombus can be in the heart, or brain.Sorry it is not threatening, it is a fact.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to be healthy.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
