Is Pneumothorax Recurrence Possible In A Marijuana Smoker?
So I suffered from spontaneous pnuemothorax for the past couple of years, and thus far ive had to get pleurodesis on both lungs. It s been over a year since my last recurrance and i havent smoked since then ( i was a heavy marijuana smoker) My question is, it it advisable to smoke marijuana, in small increments? considering the time since the last recurrance, would it be safe?

Hello,
Marijuana does not cause pneumothorax. However long term use can cause serious health-related problems which may be worse than pneumothorax.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
