Funny. The normal urine-positive period for non-chronic use is 1-5 days.

I didn't say it wasn't. You'll have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT at 2 weeks.

I was merely commenting on the "It'll take a couple of weeks to get put out of your system..."

Understood. And in a couple of weeks it will be out of the system.

Dude, they are jerking you off, Marijuana acts as an anesthetic. EVEN if there happened to be an interaction with ONE of the 92 by products of marijuana , they would out of your system within 3 weeks tops.

You understand why you shouldn't take aspirin when you've been drinking right? Because they're both blood thinners, and combined the effect is enough to lower your blood pressure so bad your heart stops.

The compounds responsible for the high are out of the system within days, the compounds responsible for nervous system suppression stay within you for months. Combine that with anisthesia, and the nerves responsible for autonomic function go into paralysis, and your heart stops and you stop breathing. Once that happens it's very hard to start them back up because of the suppression in the nerve receptors.

I thought it was since Aspirin is a fairly strong acid (Pka=3.45 in water) and if you have several drinks a day and take aspririn it could contribute to an ulcer. Correct me if i'm wrong. I'm unaware of the interaction you mentioned, but if it's true I stand corrected.

Thx man, that's good to know. I was wondering about his explantation since he didn't list any particular compounds or any reactions for that matter.

In today's litigious society, they must be prepared and they'd rather not operate on their patient only to have them die on the table from a dangerous marijuana-anesthesia interaction.

gimmie the link to an article.

Chronic consumption of the illicit herb marijuana (Cannabis sativa) greatly increases anesthetic requirements due to extensive hepatic drug metabolism.
here

Further, THC altered the patients' adaptivity to stress and interacted undesirably with other anesthetic medications.

I had some difficulty locating articles regarding this subject that were publicly available. The best articles would be located in scientific journals which you can access through a university usually. I would highly recommend that you investigate this. The second link has many related works that cited it which you may also find helpful.

FYI, I am neither retarded nor a mongoose, which is most definitely horrible slander against all mongooses. But I admit I was playing along and making stuff up. I don't consider it dishonest, since it was meant to be humurous and I confessed in the end.

I had to have surgery without anesthesia when my scrotum was torn during rough sex(both the prostitute and I were on PCP), and it simply wasn't any fun. Good luck, it is going to hurt.

Are you serious??? If so, any pics?

Nope.

i dont smoke pot so how long does it take to rid that from your system?

MIKE

I think it stays in your system for, like, months.

if he's really only smoked that much...it may be out in a week or two...its stored in the fatty tissue of your body, from what i understand...for heavy smokers...like half oz. a day+ it can take months though

Am I reading the abstract correctly? Did they inject THC into patients before administering anesthetics? That seems like it would totally skew the findings away from normal use.



OP you have nothing to worry about. If you want to be super safe against anything possibly messing up, don't smoke a month prior to surgery.

Half an ounce a day = oregano.

If we find out that you have marijuana in your system prior to the surgery, we secretly cancel your case but tell you you're going ot the OR. We'll give you a little versed to knock you out and then when you wake up, you find yourself in a FPMITAP!!

Have a nice day.
