I don’t even smoke pot regularly, I gave up smoking cigerattes at new years and have since had couple joints previous weekend and that one joint last night, completely forgot about my operation at the end of this week. Should I mention it the anthesologiset?

I don’t think it will do any harm but to make you feel better, mention it to the anaesthetist.
It shouldn’t make a difference. But if you are worried that it will mention it; doesn’t hurt to be cautious.
I would mention it. Recently they put my mom under and they had a hard time getting her to come around and that was without any drugs in her system. So Yes PLEASE mention it. This is your LIFE.
God bless you.

How Well Do You Know God?
Guess what? God loves you and wants to have a personal relationship with you forever.
Your heavenly Father also has a special plan for your life. He gives us this promise in the Old Testament book of Jeremiah, chapter 29 verse 11: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ says the LORD, ‘They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.’” God created you to have a relationship with Him. He wants you to grow close to Him now and spend forever with Him in heaven after you die.
But one thing separates us from a relationship with God … sin. If you’ve ever done something wrong, then you know about sin. Sin is disobeying God and the Bible says in Romans 3:23: “For all [that means us!] have sinned; all fall short of God’s glorious standard.”
Romans 6:23 explains that the punishment for sin is death—separation from God in hell forever. No matter how hard we try, we can’t save ourselves. We can’t earn our way to heaven by being good, going to church, or getting baptized. That’s the bad news.
But don’t worry! God loves us so much that He sent his only son, Jesus, to earth. Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life and then died on the cross to take the punishment for our sins (Romans 5:8). Three days later, He came back to life and now He lives in heaven.
In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me.” To reach God and live in heaven after you die, you must accept Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord.
To accept Jesus as your Savior, simply talk to God and admit that you are a sinner, believe that Jesus died for your sins and was raised from the dead, and give Him control of your life.
Here is an example of a prayer that will help you know what to say:
Dear God, I know that I’m a sinner and that my sin separates me from You. I realize that I can’t do anything to earn my way into heaven. I believe that Jesus took the punishment for my sins by dying on the cross and coming back to life. I accept Him as my Savior and Lord. And I will try my best to please You all the days of my life. Thank You for forgiving me and saving me now. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
If you accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, then you can be sure He heard you. The Bible says, “Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13). You have just begun a relationship with God and you will definitely spend eternity in heaven with Him!
If you made a decision to follow Jesus Christ today, please let us know and we will e-mail you a brochure to assist you in finding a church home.

No. It won’t affect it. But don’t smoke right beforehand, as marijuana can raise blood pressure and heart rate and may present complications, and/or a risk of being turned down for the surgery. Great job giving up cigarettes; I hope you keep at it.
Best of luck, be safe.
i’m not here to tell you what to with your time but perhaps some advice? marijuana is a waste of money you’re just paying money to kill your brain cells.. 2nd of all, you should have thought about that general anesthic before you smoked a joint, nobody here can tell you if smoking a joint can or cannot affect it. However, I suggest you drink plenty of water to flush it out of your system, I read that marijuana stays in a persons system up to 3 months, but everybody is different! Good luck and hopefully you know better now so you won’t have to ask a question like this again. just advice i’m not trying to be rude.
Marijuana generally has no lasting acute psychological effects past the first 6 hour period or so. The THC will still be in your system, but it is being stored in fat cells and will not affect the anesthesia (which affects the nerve cells). You have no drug-related worries for this operation.
However, I would still not recommend smoking within a week before any important event, as it messes with your sleep patterns and can leave you tired and/or unprepared.
Don’t bother. It will have no effect.
No, your anaesthesia will not be affected. At all.
If you were a regular smoker, you would be smart to mention it.. but as you are not, then you have nothing to worry about.
Marijuana is amazing in that it doesn’t interact adversely with anything, and its side-effect profile/death profile is so scant it’s as if it were a miracle of nature.
Anyways, good luck with your surgery. You’ll be fine.
It shouldn’t affect you.
Keep on smoking the green stuff
(unless you get drug tested for any reason)
