Wisdom teeth extraction, anesthesia, marijuana?

The past few months I've been using marijuana to relax most nights,
but (very) recently gave it up for a few reasons, including an
upcoming wisdom teeth extraction where I will be put to sleep. I've
been researching this online, but everything I've read fails to
clarify whether complications from marijuana use and anesthesia are
due to the anesthetic being administered while the patient is under
the influence, or if it applies to anyone who smokes marijuana,
regardless of when they did. My surgery will occur about 5 days after
the last time I smoked, so my question would be, is that long enough?
Or should I postpone the procedure to allow more time? I should
probably mention that I'm not a (tobacco) smoker, 33, male, and in
good health. I just want to be safe, and make sure everything goes
well. Please advise. Thank you very much.
