Is Smoking Marijuana Safe While On Xarelto?

I am a 20 year old female with relatively good health, but last year I had three pulmonary embolisms in my lungs provoked by taking birth control. It was discovered that I am homozygous for factor v Leiden. I am now taking xeralto and things have been fine. I smoke weed occassionally, maybe like two times a month. Is this putting me at risk for another blood clot, or is it ok to smoke weed once in a while?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
any controlled ,official study that would address this issue is hard to find. all i can say is that if you maintain marijuana consumption in that range (couple of times a month).....it is quite safe.
