I just had open heart surgery to repair an aortic aneurysm with a synthetic just over a week ago, am 42, also have a bicuspid aortic valve(not repaired) and I m wondering if using a vaporizer to ingest marijuana is safe, dangerous, or insane? For those unaware of what a MJ vaporizer is, it only passes hot air across the MJ releasing the THC into a white vapor, but no combustion/smoke. I really hate the pharma options and would prefer this or cooking with it, but I m scared to do it until I speak to an unbiased professional. Again, it s not full combustion, but I would like an honest answer from an expert. My surgeon is too old and too uptight to even ask, so I hesitated bringing it up. I don t want to be stupid, but I need an alternative to these pain pills. I absolutely hate them and the side effects. Thank You!
Hi ThereAlthough its true that marijuana is being used for recreational medical purpose in some part of the world. It's also correct that using it through a vaporizer is safe as compared to smoking it. But the problem with its use is its completely illegal in many countries and also it's a habit-forming substance. So my suggestion to you is to discuss your options with your treating doctor that's the only solution. I wish you good luck
