In Reference To Marijuana

Man I really hope i dont get banned for asking this but I don't know where else to turn. Prior to surgery I was a regular grass smoker (with a medicinal card) but am curious as to how safe it is after surgery because I know that cigarette smoke is harmful and can cause ulcers. Sometimes I really don't care to eat and it helps me force some Protein in me but I don't want to hurt myself. My surgeon told me he honestly doesn't know if it's as harmful as cigarette smoke but assumes it is. There's nothing on the internet about it either so I've kind of run out of resources :[

Does anyone have any insight on edibles causing dumping syndrome?

You can make your own or buy no/low sugar versions. Only thing required in an edible is oil since THC is oil soluble. So if you can eat a small candy, cookie or brownie with no issues, then you shouldn't have any issues with *any* edibles. Normally edibles are fairly small.

I've eaten some store-bought edibles (chocolate or gummy bears) and they didn't cause dumping, most likely due to how small the portion sizes were. I ate them to relieve nausea and joint pain; did not get the munchies.

Thanks for info Matt! I'm only a few weeks post op so I'm not even there yet but I wasn't planning on being able to eat candy for awhile due to dumping syndrome.

If you get hard candies, you shouldn't get any dumping at all given the small amount of sugar and the fact that you break down and absorb a good portion of things in your mouth while sucking on the candy.
