Marijuana And Traumatic Brain Injury

On June 11th I suffered a head injury that resulted in a mild brain injury. I was wondering how bad it is for me to smoke marijuana. I know it is bad to drink alcohol, but I haven't been able to find any information about how marijuana can affect the healing process.

Marijuana and healing, I am really surprised. What I know is that marijuana is helpful for relief of pain rather than anything else like healing. Alcohol as well has the same effects and does not have a better role.
