I do use it ....... has helped with pain , nausia , helps me relax ....... the munchie not so much and your tummy tells you no so i havent had any issues ............

@@jadama22 Post op day one and two: I was in so much pain and uncomfortable that I inhaled two "puffs" from my vaporizer of some good kush and it helped immediately with the pain. However, because you will just have had anesthesia and your lungs will be weak, I would advise to use discriminately.
It did not make me hungry.

I don't use marijuana, but I am led to believe by some friends who do that there are varieties or methods of consuming that do not cause munchies, perhaps even the opposite. You might check with a local dispensary or on-line forum dedicated to the subject for expert advise. Good luck!

I would also think cottonmouth would be really tough when you can only sip, sip, sip......

@@charmia, that's my take on it, too. I think that since smoking marijuana lowers inhibitions, you could end up making bad food choices and/or overeating. I'm not a smoker but if I was, I would avoid it post surgery.
Just my $.02: Lets be careful how we use the term addiction. If it's applied indiscriminately to every behavior we don't approve of, it loses its meaning.

Please be kind to each other on this site - aren't all of us trying to stay positive about perhaps the hardest things we have ever done? I know I am. I come to this site for inspiration and answers - not to read others being negative about others' choices. Be respectful please. You don't have to agree with what others do, but no need to hate. This is hard enough.
