    My mom found out while I was getting prepped for cancer surgery… nurse asks if I take marijuana, and I was like “ummm… Yes?”

      It’s a good thing you answered truthfully. Cannabis affects the way anesthesia works so they may not have given you enough if you had lied and said no.

      PSA to anyone getting any sort of anesthetic/anesthesia. Always be truthful about your marijuana use.

        My best friend wasn’t upfront about Cannabis-use and apparently the anaesthetist really struggled to get him to wake up post-surgery. Scary stuff

        Yeah I wasn’t about to lie before a surgery that could have ended in me shitting into a bag for the rest of my life
