Hey guys I have a question and I guess I trust you guys more than a possibly biased google search... I recently tore my ACL playing soccer and need to get surgery soon. I haven't blazed in about 4 months and was planning to start up again this coming Thanksgiving. However, I heard somewhere that smoking will slow the healing process for injuries like a torn ACL. Can anyone with knowledge about torn ACLs clear this up for me? I really want to smoke because it's been a while, but I'm willing to abstain for the next 4-6 months while I heal from surgery. Also, I have a Magic Flight Launch Box, so I have the option of vapeing but for some reason I feel it would have the same negative effects as smoke.
i know several pro MMA fighters who smoke weed (not personally), and they say it helps the recovery process. not particularly a torn ACL, but I'm sure it won't hurt.
Dunno where you got that info from .. but it sounds bogus to me. Marijuana hasn't been shown to slow the healing of anything, so I would assume torn ACL's are included. Smoke the pain away, stay away from opiates.
