I am a daily smoker of marijuana as well as tobacco I am due to have open surgery (scaphoid fixation) next wendesday and being put to sleep with anesthesia. My concern is that the THC may interact negatively with the anesthesia and possibly create complications or lead to an untimely fatality. I am very very afraid and concerned and I am considering postponing this much needed surgery due to such fears. Am I just worrying about nothing or should I truly be concerned?
Hi, Yes, truly marijuana addiction affects in giving anesthesia. But I think you need not worry much these days because they can give you brachial block which only anesthetize your affected limb. And If you are to be given general anesthesia there are good Chat Doctor.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
