Question

I got a penicillin shot in my butt this morning, and I'm wondering if smoking marijuana will affect it. Can you help me understand if theres any risk or interaction I should be concerned about?

Smoking marijuana shouldn't directly interfere with the effectiveness of penicillin, but it can affect your immune system and overall health, potentially slowing recovery. It's always best to avoid substances that might impair your body's healing process, especially when you're on antibiotics.
