Brief Answer:
Marijuana is addicting
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome
I know that marijuana is legal in some countries but it is addicting.
The metabolism of both Omeprazole and marijuana can be decreased when combined. So these medicines can accumulate in body and their effect maybe changed accordingly.
The metabolism of Marijuana can be decreased when combined with Clarithromycin. So these medicines may increase in blood and their effect changed accordingly.
So it is not a good idea to combine them.
There is no known interaction between amoxicillin and marijuana.
Anyways Marijuana is addicting so it should not be taken.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
