Regular Member mikenguyen Posted July 27, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hi guys, So I searched the forum and this topic was not brought up before but I am sure that there are many guys out there who want to know more about this. I just had my FUE hair transplant around 3 weeks ago and I am wondering when I can consume marijuana again. I have heard that smoking constrict blood vessel and should be avoided until 2-3 weeks post-op? My surgeon even suggested no smoking for 1 year post-op. How about if I consume marijuana another way other than smoking? (like edibles?) Would that harm my results? Does anybody have any experiences regarding this topic and other types of drugs? I consume marijuana occasionally since it is legal in my state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member voxman Posted July 27, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted July 27, 2017 Smoking Tobacco or Marijuana or even Bananas constrict blood vessels. After a few weeks it probably won't make much difference but why take the chance of giving yourself a less than optimal outcome? Edibles are probably okay. Marijuana is okay in my state , too - but of course, I live in the state of confusion. I'm serious. Just look at my face. My Hair Regimen: Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Senior Member Coach Posted July 27, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted July 27, 2017 I don't smoke marijuana or cigarettes, but I smoke cigars. I waited a week after my first HT before I had one and everything turned out fine, but I still ran it past my doctor first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted July 28, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted July 28, 2017 Any form of tobacco will constrict the blood vessels.

Senior Member Richie888 Posted November 26, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2020 It's the smoking side that's the issue not so much the marijuana. If you can get edibles and feel like you really need to get high then I would go down that road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member alex1985 Posted November 29, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted November 29, 2020 Till which month is it better to not use any vessel constricting products, like smoking (beside from other health concerns)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemiros Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) I want to share my story. I didn't experience hair transplantation, but when I was like 14 I injured my ankle playing football. Such a banal case, but it changed my life on a bad side and my football carrier in general. Even now I have pain in my ankle from time to time. Especially when I walk for hours or do workout. I felt nervous and uncomfortable and just incomplete. My therapist suggested me to exercise with a physiotherapist and try cannabis oil I was quite surprised about the last one. However, I followed his prescription and bought one. After few consuming my ankle pain felt much lower. I don't use it too often, only when the pain is hard to endure. Maybe this information will help to someone. Take care.
