Medicine needs to be a live and let live issue, just like food. Or water. If he feels like he needs the meds and they serve him well, then he gets to decide since he's the one who lives in his body and brain.

Tom, I can't say whether or not you should smoke with your meds or not, and I'd be doing you a disservice as a friend if I even hazarded a guess. No one is qualified to give you an answer on that except the doctor(s) who put you on them, in consultation with you and experience with how the weed interacts.

Would I personally smoke while using those meds? No, I wouldn't. But a lot of people do. If you ask your doctor and he/she tells you no, he doesn't think it's a good idea, are you going to take that advice?
Dont worry friendowl, you werent buggin on me or anything
I have asked doctors about smoking, and they all give me different answers, ranging from the ominous 'no' to 'once a week' to 'once a month' and Ive even heard once a year! Seems like no doc really knows, which is why I believe we need more tests on MJ. But thats another story...
And I dont drink alcohol at all now... :thumbsup:
Tom Swierzbinski Reviewed by Tom Swierzbinski on . Meds and smoking Can anyone tell me if its OK to smoke, say an eighth a week at the most, on these meds? 600mg carbamazapeine daily 10mg Ariprozole (sp) daily 5-7.5mg diazepam when I feel like I need it The ariprozole is to help with motivation, Im not a schizophrenic! Cheers for anyone that helps out :thumbsup: Rating: 5
