Hey, so last week I got in a skateboard accident and now have a hairline fracture in my skull and I am also bleeding a little in my brain. I ve been wanting to smoke Marijuana but have not due to me not being sure if it d be safe or not. Would it cause more damage to myself If I smoked weed before my skull and brain are completely healed?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. It is not safe to smoke marijuana when you are having fractured skull and bleeding. It will cause increase in blood pressure and would cause a risk of more bleeding in brain and poor healing of fracture. Hence, do not use the substance till you recover completely. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
