Will marijuana use affect the antibiotic amoxicillin?

i have a terrible ear infection and went to the hospital last night where i was given amoxicillin and lorcet (a narcotic that contains hydrocodon and acetaminophen) and i only take half a capsule every six hours or so. what im wondering is will smoking marijuana while on amoxicillin prevent the antibiotic from working effectively?

Smoking illegal EVIL DEADLY WEED while on those or any other LEGAL SUPER HEALTHY drugs will have several very serious and permanent effects. Firstly, your legs and feet will shrivel up and fall off, melting on contact with the ground. Your hair will turn to shoelaces and you’ll be driven into a crazed, drug fuelled killing frenzy. You might smash a store window using a saucepan full of noodles, you might bite a dog, you may even attempt to assassinate George Foreman, but what ever the case, it can’t be good news.

OK, do you know the science behind marijauna, and anti-biotics, did you know that both are made from mostly organic compounds, and we or nobody wants them to combine in such a way that they start making keytones because then she can get diabetes or Parkinsons or some other neurological problem. Look it is obvious you agree with her drug use we don’t, now lets leave it at that, and don’t be telling others to leave a great site because they don’t agree with drug use.

its fine if you have your own oppinion, but sometimes its better to keep it to yourself if it doesnt answer their question. i just hate when people criticize those trying to get help, or tell outright lies that have nothing to do with the question

if only people could just answer the post instead of providing feedback on other user’s replies to the post.. modding would be so much easier

Beforetherewasyouthe, so far I haven’t seen you answer the poster’s question yet, maybe re-read it and answer it rather than have a tiffy fit with another user in the post

sorry, nothing personal intended. but i think you understand about how it defeats the purpose of this website to go off and express personal opinions instead of answering the question.

I have found that smoking weed usually relieves most minor pains and doesnt counteract the effects of antibiotics seeing as it just a herbal remedy. Now the only problem with an ear infection is that it is all connected to your sinus’ somehow, so smoke may have the potential to irritate the ear canals when they are infected. Maybe not make it worse but definitely slow down the healing process.

Also, for all those who have made your little ignorant marijuana jokes…you obviously have NO relevent knowledge on marijuana. Ask chemo patients how they get by without it, ask my aunt who has severe degenerating MS and cant walk unless she smokes a doobie, as my mom who has glacauma and cant see out of her eyes unless she takes her THC pills…marijuana was made illegal many years ago when the federal US governemnt MADE UP facts about the harmful uses of weed. Truth is, besides it being bad on your throat, there is no other DEADLY side effects of weed. Try it…i bet you like it :)

Perhaps she has her license!?!?!? weed is legal now for pain management in many illnesses such as cancer, aids, chostochondritis, fibromyalga, and many others. get over it. it’s good for you.
