Can I Smoke Weed Prior To Wisdom Tooth Removal Surgery?

I'm having my impacted wisdom teeth removed tomorrow morning. Is it okay to smoke weed tonight? I won't be put under, just nitrogen.
I'm 29, female, average health and weight. I'm not a regular smoker, just recreational. this will be my first surgery and I have no health problems.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The smoking before extraction will not affect you. but you should not smoke after extraction because it will dislodge the blood clot and leads to dry socket. so do not smoke after extraction for minimum 3 days. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Smoking weed has lots of side effects on your body ,though doing recreationally it will be habit if continued.Stop using it completely.

Please stop smoking the weed before or after surgery as it will effect the healing process of the tooth socket.

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards.
