Brief Summary:
The use of Cannabis is increasing in the population, and the effects that this might have on different medical procedures are poorly understood. Particularly when submitted to deep sedation or general anesthesia, there is no consensus on best drugs or doses to deliver. The purpose of this clinical trial is to clarify the influence of chronic cannabis use during office based general anesthesia for extraction of teeth. The procedures will be performed in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic at the College of Dentistry.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Propofol dose in milligrams [ Time Frame: During the procedure ]
    Compare the total amount of propofol necessary to sedate patients that use cannabis with patients that do not use


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Heart rate in beats per minute [ Time Frame: During the procedure ]
    Compare how the heart rate behave during the procedure in each group

  2. Blood pressure in millimeters of mercury [ Time Frame: During the procedure ]
    Compare how the blood pressure behave during the procedure in each group

  3. Quality of sedation grading from 0 to 6 according to the Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation scale [ Time Frame: During the procedure ]
    Compare the difference in sedation quality during the procedure in each group
