I got mine out on monday and I waited 3 days to smoke, but I'm still trying to pull pretty lightly.
It's best to wait about a week, smoking can cause "dry sockets" and affect healing, if you have to smoke inhale through your noise only, I used a bong with a straw when I had all teeth pulled 8 months ago, I heard dry sockets are the worst pain related to pulling teeth and was not willing to risk it, besides if you get good pain meds you won't need/want it.
i got codeine and just took it as prescribed because my mouth was sore.
I know this is too late for this thread, but for future reference, if you are going to use cannabis after tooth extractions, please eat it - don't smoke it. You can get a dry socket, and those suck. They are painful and take forever to heal. The drug itself won't hurt your recovery (usually) - it's more the action of sucking smoke down and the irritants in the smoke itself that can hurt your extraction site.
Edit: It is way too late now but for anyone else I would lay off to be safe, it's just one day.
is it bad to smoke weed and take a vicodin for back pain simultaneously?
when i had my wisdom teeth removed i got the most unbelievable lecture of my life from the nurse, and also the doc. if my wife hadn't been there to confirm it actually happened, i'd think i dreamed it.
went something like this:
"these are the dangers of this procedure: you can die, you can bleed out and die, you can get a DRY SOCKET, and let me tell you honey, i've given birth, and i'd rather GIVE BIRTH WITHOUT ANESTHETIC IN THE BACKSEAT OF A CAR than get a DRY SOCKET (those were here EXACT words), so don't smoke, don't mess with it..............."
then doc comes in
"ok, so we're gonna take your wisdom teeth out"
me: "yup"
doc: well do you want to be sedated ?
me: well, you know the procedure, whatever you usually do
doc: well, what do YOU want me to do?
me: you want me to tell you what to do?
doc: well?
me: uhh............just knock me out and don't fuck up, please
needless to say i wasn't terribly comforted when i was getting gassed on the table.............sheesh, thanks for the you-can't-sue-us-now death talk from the friendly ortho-people. when i picked up my prescrip after the operation the person told me the doc i saw did 100's of these op's a weak and made a fortune off it. it's practically all he did. just an assembly-line of big-billing fast and quick wisdom teeth pulls
yikes
true store ;) good luck! :)

Ive smoked the same way twice today already. They gave me a bottle of 40 t-3s but I dont want any codeine. the pain isnt bad enough for that..have just been taking advil, when i absolutely have to. they are much easier on my stomach than tylenol-3s.
