Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic
Treatment of gonorrhea consists of either single dose Oral cefixime Or single dose Oral azithromycin Or single dose infection of ceftriaxone.
All of these treatments are very effective in eradicating infection and I don't think smoking weed would interfere with the efficacy at all.
It is usually recommended to avoid intimate sexual contact for 7 days after treatment for gonorrhea.
Therefore, if you were treated on 17th of february you must abstain from sexual contact till 24 th of february.
Regards
