Don’t mix marijuana and alcohol
- Using alcohol and marijuana 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 marijuana, especially if you have also consumed alcohol.
Be careful if you take medication
- There may be drug interactions between marijuana and your medication.
- Talk to your health care provider about marijuana use if you’re taking prescription medications.
