Is it true if you smoke marijuana anesthesia doesn't take effect?
Jan 8, 2013

Dr. Kassem El-Houcheimi Orthopedic Surgery
there are many types of anesthesia ,it affects the response to them .
 • 
Dr. Mirna Waked Pulmonology
Yes . Marijuana creates a state of addiction and by so the threshold for pain and effect of sedatives becomes high
 • 
Dr. Jean Esso Anesthesiology
Anesthesia can be hazardous for Marijuana users. Its effects can
extend to various systems, primarily the central nervous, respiratory, and cardiac systems. It is prudent to delay any elective surgery in case of acute consumption where more anesthetic is required. However, less is required in cases of chronic use.
