smoking weed and transplants

[cateyes81]

Hello

I was just wondering do you thinki smoking weed could be harmful to new grafts after a transplant? Weed sure as hell feels less toxic on the body then booze does

assuming you Canadians dont roll with tobacco then i shouldnt think a spliff or two here n there will do much harm,although im sure someone will be along to tell you all about blood circulation/flow etc

I feel like im so alone in this topic always


is it natural for people who suffer with hair loss to always be such good boys?

 

[hairtech]

Smoking weed will not harm grafts.

how far in advance of hair transplant do i need to stop smoking the hash asnd when(postop) can i start again please?

thanks.

 

[cateyes81]

[hairtech]

I will ask Dr. Harris that question concerning hashish. :lol:

 

[blueshard]

smoking weed will ruin your transplant if you wear shitty *** sunglasses and then claim it was a dare to wear them

 

[hairtech]

Um... Like... What? :freaked2:

 

[ste08]

Thanks hairtech!

 

[hairtech]

Well I asked Dr. Harris about the Hashish thing... in fact here is the email.

Tom,

I have no idea, sorry. He should ask his doctor.

Subject: need your advice...

Dr. H,

A patient asked when he can resume hashish smoking post op as well as when he should obstain pre-op. Apparently he lives in Amsterdam.

Off the record... it probably goes along the same lines as smoking cigs

thanks anyway Tom.

:freaked: :freaked2: :mrgreen: :uglylol: :laugh: :yeah:

 

[cateyes81]

how about smoking crack? samething?

 

[hairtech]

That probably would not be good for grafts, your surgery, or your health in generally. I would advise you not to smoke crack at all.

 

[cateyes81]

yeah I was j/k

smoking in general contributes to decreased immune response so why would you even consider it after all that money you spent?

 

[cateyes81]

1. because its a better alternative to drinking\

2. its not dangerous


3. it feels nice to have once in a while

4. it has no nocotine in it


I agree cigs are just pointless and disgusting but weed is special
