Can Cannabis Be Taken While On Penicillin?
Question: Does cannabis effect penicillin? I got 2 penicillin shots about 3 hours ago for Strep.
Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
No, cannabis does not affect penicillin in any way. The penicillin injections will still be highly effective for your strep infection. Cannabis carries other major risks, however. It is unregulated and can have other dangerous substances in it that you may not know about. It can also cause cognitive, memory, and motivation problems, and has been linked to schizophrenia. So I recommend you stop using it.
