HI,
Welcome to HCM!
As such, there is no known interaction between Cannabis and an antibiotic. However, I'd advice you to wait till your antibiotic course is completed.
Cannabis is known to cause harm to your body in the long term. Your body needs to be in a good shape to ward off any infection that might occur.
Moreover, as a well wisher, I'd advice you not to consume cannabis from now on. It is a known harmful drug and has many harmful effects on the body.
Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have any doubt.
Wishing you the best.
Regards,
Dr. Sridhar Reddy
