Marijuana and Interactions with Other Medications For those considering using medical marijuana that are already on other prescriptions medications, this is a huge concern. So, I’m going to do a deep-dive into this topic with you - by starting with the basics. Marijuana and Interactions with Other Medications: THE RESEARCH
RESEARCH IN ANIMALS MODELS AND TEST TUBES Research in animal models and in test tubes has shown that both CBD and THC slow Cytochrome P450 down. Between CBD and THC, CBD was found to have a greater impact on slowing down CYP than THC. Specifically, the way in which CBD slows down CYP is that it blocks the breakdown of prescription medications. Researchers did find that it typically took really high concentrations of CBD to actually slow down Cytochrome P450. RESEARCH IN HUMANS So, there has been some research done on this topic in humans as well. They’ve been studies done using some very specific prescribed medications. Cannabidiol (CBD) and CLOBAZAM One study looked at the effects of CBD on an anti-seizure medication called Clobazam. They looked to see what happened when 13 kids with Epilepsy were given Clobazam with CBD. They basically found that CBD led to less break-down of Clobazam. Basically, it stuck around longer than normal. And, as a result, the doses of Clobazam that these kids were on had to be reduced. And, in turn, the kids experienced fewer side effects of the Clobazam. Cannabidiol (CBD) and HEXOBARBITAL Another study looked at the effects of CBD on a medication called Hexobarbital. It’s a medication that was used back in the 1940’s and 1950’s as anesthesia, but isn’t really used anymore. The results of the study showed that, again, CBD led to less of break-down of Hexobarbital. So, basically it also stuck around longer. And, you’re probably wondering, what does this mean for me, the patient that’s using medical marijuana? In theory, taking medical marijuana with your prescription medications should impact the breakdown of the prescription medications that you’re taking, but, in general, clinically, this hasn’t really been the case. So, there’s been a decent amount of research done using marijuana. And, a lot of the participants continued to take their prescription medications while participating in the study. So, basically, they were using marijuana along with their prescription medications for conditions like, Neuropathic Pain Cancer-Related Pain Fibromyalgia Multiple Sclerosis Huntington’s Parkinson’s Etc. Overall, the participants of these studies didn’t report any adverse drug-to-drug interactions nor did the researchers observe any adverse drug-to-drug interactions. Marijuana and Interactions with Other Medications: IN PRACTICE I’ve been treating patients with medical marijuana since 2012, and in that time I haven’t had any patients report any adverse drug-to-drug interactions either nor have I observed any general trends with adverse drug-to-drug interactions. Of course, we need more information by way of research, but so far this is what we know and what I’ve seen in my medical marijuana practice. So there you have it - everything you wanted to know about using medical marijuana and interactions with your prescriptions medications. Of course, as always, if you have questions for me, then please post them in the comments section below. I’ll be more than happy to answer them in the next video blog.

Anyone considering the use of chlorine dioxide (CLO2) needs to be aware the US Food and Drug Administration has issued a Consumer Update warning against the use of chlorine dioxide, see https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/danger-dont-drink-miracle-mineral-solution-or-similar-products.
This warning and this stance taken by a government agency should be considered carefully by everyone.
The chemicals must be handled with respect. In addition, usage rates and guidelines must be understood and followed carefully. Many individuals have found they can learn to use chlorine dioxide effectively, but this has yet to be recognized by government authorities.
The recommendation is for you to find a doctor who will be on board and be supportive of using any of the self-help techniques you may find on this site.
