Is it okay to trip while I have a concussion?

Three days ago I got a concussion and I was wondering if it would be okay to trip shrooms, salvia, or really anything at all during my recovery period...I think weed should be all right.

I agree. Better safe than sorry.

I dunno. I'm not a doctor. I'd say err on side of caution and don't do any type of mind-altering drugs, including THC.
If you can't leave weed alone for just a few days, you have a serious problem.

you'll probably be ok, but im sure the doctor would recomend against for a few reasons, most notably the fact that if you sustain a head injury you should give it time to heal properly as it becomes easier to hurt it in a similar manner each subsequent time.
Do you slam yer head often?

Seriously, concussions are gnarly. You reboot. Give your wetware some time to defrag before running some taxing software.
ok that was seriously the nerdiest analogy I've ever come up with

I would like to state for the record that Wikipedia > everything.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concussion
Because of this:
Quote:
Excitatory neurotransmitters are released as the result of the traumatic injury and cause the brain to enter a state of hypermetabolism which can last for 7 to 10 days (Orlando Regional Healthcare, 2004). During this time, the brain needs extra nutrients and is especially sensitive to inadequate blood flow.
I would not trip after a concussion. Psychedellics stimulate the brain hardcore and make it a lot more active. This could exacerbate the symptoms of your consussion (which would probably slow down the healing process) or even give you a horrible trip. I'd wait a week or so before tripping OR drinking, depending on the severity of the concussion.
