the symptoms u mentioned are surely due to the cannabis. along with the symptoms of the cannabis smoking comes the inhibition, in which the person experiments sexually as th cannabis is an euphorisant. so in ur friends case not only she might be jus taking cannabis she might also be experimenting with sex toys or having unprotected sex that could be leading to the repeated UTI.
