Can I DIE ? Real question not a joke !?!


Question: Can I DIE ? Real question not a joke !?
I just smoked some weed. And three days from now, I will be put to sleep with anesthesia. Can anything bad happen since I just smoked marijuana ? Like right now as we speak, I am high, really high. But I dont smoke everyday, maybe three days out of the week. Never more thn that. So yeh, can anything bad happen to me ? Like me not waking up ?

Answers:

You are just paranoid, really paranoid.But you are not paranoid every day, just three times a week. Never more thn that.



"People that smoke marijuana before anesthesia can expect problems related to ventilation and oxygenation. The inhaled cannabinoids act as CNS [Central Nervous System] depressants which can in turn exaggerate the anesthetic effect depending on the amount of cannabinoids present in the persons system. Generally, there may be an increase in heart rate with low doses of marijuana and heart rates are markedly decreased with high doses."

The anesthesiologist will not make any adjustments based on having previously smoked marijuana, if it isn't active in your system.

So other than the usual risks associated with general anesthesia (which include death) having 'smoked' will not change the results.

I would have to recommend not smoking certainly the day of the surgery, but also abstaining from now till the procedure.



Yes you can have complications from pot. You need to tell your anesthesiologist about this.

The doctors generally don't report anything like this to the police. They only report something if someone was hurt by someone else. Doctors will only report things like attempted murder, rape, battery, stalking, that sort of stuff.



At the very least, just tell your anesthaesiologist they should know any mind altering chemicals, because it's unlikely, but there's a chance it'll get messed up because of your weed use.



erm....at worst, yes.

you need to let the doctors know as they will make the necessary adjustments. anesthesia is dangerous anyway so be totally Honest with them.

stop smoking pot - it turns people into morons.



Tell the anaesthatist. They won't tell the police. But if you don't tell them, it could have implications for your health.



Talk to your doctor about this.



haven't heard of anything like that happening to anyone else



Ino u can get ill so ur gona have to tell the hospital u have taken drugs
