Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
It is not safe to smoke marijuana when you are having fractured skull and bleeding.
It will cause increase in blood pressure and would cause a risk of more bleeding in brain and poor healing of fracture.
Hence, do not use the substance till you recover completely.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
