Hello, i had 2 bottom impacted wisdom teeth extracted and 1 upper wisdom tooth extracted 4 days ago (almost 100 hours). can i smoke marijuana now without complications? I refused the nitrous at the dentist and the norcos and had a rough few days sleeping wise. sorry if inappropriate, I live in Illinois were its legal and I possess a medical card. thank you

I usually recommend waiting at least 3 days before smoking. Since it has been 4 days, it should be okay, although if you notice any bad taste or smell, with any pain, it is best to go for a check-up, since it might be an indication of a dry socket.
For safety, rather wait 7 days.
