Broken Humerus

[ChiefCheeb]

Last week I broke my humerus and am now in a cast. I was prescribed first hydromorphone and now codeine both of which were fun, but I miss maryjane. I was wondering whether smoking could alter my bones healing in some way like cigarettes are said to. Could I eat the THC instead of smoking it or is there a problem with the THC? I know not to mix THC with opioids because the effects become much more intense but having to go weeks without weed would be a bummer.

If you have any other questions ask cause typing with one hand is hard.

Thanks :jointsmile:

Cannabis altering bone growth? Dought it. As far as edibles, they will help alot more with pain look in the recipe section. As far as codeine and Mj, your only worry is acetimophin overdose. (4 grams a day MAX) Search "Pain medicine" There are TONS of threads over this if you want more info. Later bro

I have broken many bones during my period (17yrs) of heavy cannabis use , I was a 24 hour 7 day a week massive stoner and I healed just as fast then as I did before I started toking.

Thanks for all the help, it's good to hear I can start smoking again.
