Hello
Welcome to HCM
Bupropion and Fluoxetine are anti depressant drugs. These drugs tend to cause CNS activation. Bupropion even increases Dopaminergic neurotransmission and taking weed or opium with bupropion will cause precipitation of psychotic symptoms. These both drugs may cause psychomotor agitation. So as per my opinion it is not advisable to take weed together with these drugs.
Hope it helps you, thanks
