Smoking Weed Post HT Day 17

[DenverBuff1989]

Hi all, 

Wondering when its ok again to start smoking weed post-FUE? I am currently 17 days out. I don't believe weed has any affect at all on the recipient hair growing (correct me if I'm wrong), but my concern/question lies in weed impact on the direct recovery post-FUE - will it affect my scabs, scalp, any other healing?

I had a previous HT last yr and all the recipient hair grew in well and I smoked regularly - my mind is just hazy when I started smoking again :). The issue is just that not enough grafts were used. 

Thanks!

The fact is that the situation around cannabis is not too simple. On the one hand, the products of this plant are quite powerful drugs. In this context, we are usually talking about tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) - an alkaloid responsible for the feeling of "high" and hallucinations.

The same THC causes negative effects from the use of weed and creates an appropriate image for it in society. On the other hand, the healing properties of cannabis are well known, in particular for anxiety disorders, panic attacks, and even such severe conditions as Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and chronic pain syndrome.
