Is It Safe To Smoke Weed While In Process Of Medical Abortion?

HI. i found out i was pregnant not long ago and now i am supposed to be 10weeks1day but the baby stopped developing at 6 weeks and have never seen a heartbeat. Yesterday i went to the hospital to take the first abortious pill but i started cramping and bleeding alot after 8 hours. After 5 hours of clots and bleeding and strong cramps i think i finished with the abortion before the 4 pills that they meant to insert vaginally. Today i am not bleeding alot, just like a period at 2-3 day, no cramps just abit of discomfort. My question is i like to smoke abit of weed now and then mainly when im upset, dipressed ... so would it be okaj if i smoked one joint tonight before i go to the hospital tomorrow??regards

First, there is the question in general and in specific how many problems does marijuana cause? Some people get asthma attacks from it. One patient I had had seizures after smoking (the asthma is up to 1 in 6 people; the seizures is extraordinarily rare). If you get seizures after marijuana use or asthma attacks, then its a bad idea.

Second there is the quality control issue and sometimes marijuana contains other drugs or chemicals that are just obviously a bad idea to take.

third, there is the pattern of Having a problem and then taking something to fix it which sets up dependency. (as opposed to taking alcohol, cigarettes, food, and/or antidepressants which would be ok!... sarcasm here...)
