Can Marijuana Be Smoked After A Septoplasty?

Hello,

I had a septoplasty yesterday, and I was wondering if using a vaporizer to smoke marijuana would complicate anything. I would obviously be very gentle, and please don't answer with "it's illegal" as we both know it is considered medicine in many states. Thanks for your time.
