Smoking marijuana can interact with your medications and worsen symptoms of schizophrenia and depression. Its best to avoid it and discuss with your doctor. If you have any further questions or need more clarity, please consult with a psychiatrist. If youre in Texas, we welcome you to reach out to www.MidCitiesPsychiatry, were here to help you.
Yes, it is an absolutely bad idea considering the diagnosis of illness you have been suffering from.
