  1. Edibles hit way harder after surgery, at least for me. I used to handle a 10mg gummy easily, but after my procedure, even 5mg felt super intense. If you're thinking about weed pens, they might be a safer starting point since you can take small puffs and control how much you’re getting. Smoking anything can be harsh on healing tissues, though, so maybe try lower-temp vapes instead of higher-heat ones.
  2. After my knee surgery, I was curious about smoking weed for pain relief. My doc said it’s usually fine, but to play it safe, I waited until I was a bit more healed. I used a few bong bowls I picked up online—just for a smoother hit. Just be cautious, though, because everyone's healing process is different. Also, smoking can affect your body’s ability to heal, so keep it light and see how you feel. It’s always best to check with your doctor too, just to make sure it’s okay for your specific situation.
