Don’t mix cannabis and alcohol
- Using alcohol and cannabis at the same time is more dangerous than using either alone.
- Use caution when driving, biking, or performing any other safety-sensitive activities after use of any form of cannabis, especially if you have also consumed alcohol.
Be careful if you take medication
- There may be drug interactions between cannabis and your medication.
- Talk to your health care provider about cannabis use if you’re taking prescription medications.
