Answered: Can You Smoke Weed While Taking Antibiotics?



We know were not supposed to drink alcohol while taking antibiotics. But what about consuming cannabis? Heres what the experts say.

It is always important to be aware and cautious of what youre mixing with any sort of medication, since certain medicines will have a negative or more enhanced reaction when taken with another substance. When youre fighting off a bacterial infection, doctors generally prescribe antibiotics, which come along with some strict rules. But almost never addressed is an important question: can you smoke weed while taking those antibiotics?








<p style="">
We decided to ask Terry Roycroft,the president of the Medicinal Cannabis Resource Centre Inc. (MCRCI), who has studied marijuana and its effects for over ten years and is passionate about advancing public knowledge of the plant. Thankfully, according to him, taking antibiotics and smoking marijuana may not be as harmful to an individual as one would assume.




How Harmful Are Drug Interactions?



Theres a number of drug interactions for numerous everyday things. For example,even with caffeine, there are 82 drug interactions out there and some of them are moderately severe to severe, Roycroft explains....

Even something as harmless asgrapefruitcan have a negative interaction with antibiotics. This piece of fruit caninterfere with the metabolism of a number of medications, including some antibiotics used to treat certain respiratory, stomach and other infections. In fact, Roycroft says that they began using grapefruit as a guide forcannabis.

But Did Anyone Also Know That With Some Pharmaceuticals GrapefruitCan Actually Potentiate Them ?

Also Very Interesting:



<p style="background-color:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;">
Any interactions that have been identified are very mild and, in fact, doctors are currently testing to see if some antibiotics work more favorably mixed with marijuana.



<p style="background-color:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;">
For instance, when were treating someone thats on pain medication and we introduce cannabis, we will cut their [antibiotic] dose in half immediately and they get the same benefits as they would, and the same reactions as if they were taking the full amount.
