Is It Safe To Smoke Weed While On Hydrochlorothiazide, Seroquel And Norvasc?

I take 120mg of propranol a day, 20mg of norvasc and 12.5 mg of hydrochlorothiazide and 50mg of seroquel a day is it safe to smoke weed while on all these meds. Been on them since I was 16 and I'm 33 now. I was a weed smoker about 10yrs ago but didn't take meds like I should've. But have been taking them right for the past 10yrs.

Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. You are taking Hydrochlorthiazide, Quetiapine, Propranolol and Amlodipine. These drugs are antihypertensives (Hydrochlorthiazide, Amlodipine and Propranolol) and antipsychotic (Quetiapine). First of all it is not legal to smoke weed so you shouldn't smoke. If we consider these drugs then weed (cannabis) can affect the metabolism of these drugs and may cause serious effects on your health. Cannabis is known to cause acute psychosis and may result in paranoid delusions so should be avoided completely while on Quetiapine or Seroquel. I hope you follow my advise. Please don't even think of smoking weed.

Thanks, I hope this helps you.

Take care
