Is Gemfibrozil Safe To Be Taken In A Habitual Marijuana Smoker?
I smoke a large amount of marijuana daily after work. On non-work days, I smoke it all day long. I have recently been prescribed gemfibrozil, and today is my time time taking it. Are there any potential known negative interactions between the two drugs? (Also, on a side note, I seem to feel a much lessened psychoactive effect from the marijuana today.)Thank you,John
