Is It Safe To Smoke Marijuana Through The Nose After Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

I got my wisdom teeth taken out This morning but I have very bad insomnia at night. I am in custom smoking marijuana every night. A popular thing in the marijuana community is smoking through your nose when you get your wisdom teeth taken out but they had to drill up near my sinuses to get the full tooth out. Would it be OK to smoke through my nose? ?

Hello,

Well, Marijuana smoking or taking through nose is not advisable after wisdom tooth extraction or even otherwise also. So better do meditation and deep breathing exercises and avoid stress so that you can sleep well.

At times taking Marijuana through nose can cause inflamed sinuses and nostrils and can cause pain in the extraction site as well.
It can also delay the healing process. So I would not advise you smoking Marijuana.You can learn mind relaxation techniques so that you can sleep well and will help in reducing the smoking habit also in future.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
