Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Smoking weed increases the metabolism of other drugs which are taken concomitantly due to induction of the liver enzymes. This will cause the treatment failure or you might have to take higher doses of the antibiotic after consulting with your physician.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
