Would it be allowed? I've only done it once but I'd like to do it during LL if I somehow could.
Would it help or worsen things?

im a pot & cigarette smoker and i think that both of these are bad for bone growth during LL.

i think they are bad because ive been smoking and doing drugs since i was 16, and i think they stopped my growth. At that age i had just hit a growth spurt and i started doing drugs and i didnt grow an inch since then. I know because i bought a bathing suit when i was 16 and its still fits me like then. i was 5,8 at 16 and im 5,8 at 24.

pot, cigarettes, booze and big amounts of coke, and X, ketamine, LSD...all of these combined with scarce nutrition ( i skipped from 16 to 22, because i would keep my lunch money to buy drugs) are the reason im 5,8.

ive noticed that all my friends that smoked pot are shorter than their brothers that didnt ( couple inches)

ive actually quit with cigs some weeks ago, im only on pot now.. it was very difficoult.  now ill quit pot too because i want to have LL this year, probably internal femurs with guichet because i cant do tibias they re too long

I and my few friends also start in young age - 15 years old. Generaly weed + cigaretes. They have 190-186-178, and i have only 168(+3 today becouse im with the nails in my leg:) The medicine science article that i found tell about becouse smoking 3 cigaretes per day from 13 years to 18, you can loose something about 0,1-0,3 mm in height. People just thinking that becouse cigaretes people dont grow, but the reason is simpler.... short people offten smoke becouse of stress.

I dont know about weed, but simple search in google about weed and blood pressure. Dr. Betz tell me that cigaretes and cola and ibuprofen(and some other ointment for pain) can reduce micro blood pressure around you bone, and that is a reason for worst nutrition of bone - so worst regeneration.

Weed will not have an impact on your growth, it's just your genes. Somking tabacco in high quantities from an early age may have an impact on your growth but you can't smoke that much weed.
Two of my best friends used to be potheads and one is ≈1,90 and the other one is ≈1,95.
I woudln't consume any of these substances during LL of course.

Agree that smoking weed may not impact growth because of genetics in the same way malnourished kids can be tall, BUT smoking of any kind definitely impacts bone healing when it comes to broken bones / LL.  Look at any study on the internet and it's generally the #1 do not do for broken bones since it reduces oxygen and vascular supply in your body.  If you're serious about LL then giving up smoking for a couple months should be part of it, otherwise you're greatly increasing the risk for poor consolidation or non union.  Ask your surgeon.  Dr. G told me he refuses patients who want to smoke during LL.

I personally gave up all drinking during my LL, not because it's so bad for bone healing like smoking is but because of the stupid stuff I know I'll do after I've had a few beers in me.

Yeah I wouldnt advise you to do so.

Heya, I'm a daily user of cannabis, mainly edibles and vaporizing. When Dr. M asked me if I smoked, I mentioned that I consume THC several times a week and he had no comment on the topic, meaning I can go ahead with the surgery. The act of combustion, no matter the material, is the problem here.

I plan to consume edibles during LL to displace the amount of narcotics in my system, unless forbidden by my surgeon. Perhaps I can be the first weed CLL diary..

Would be good to hear a doctor's opinion on this, but there are very few studies on the effect of THC on bone formation if any.
