Hi,

It's not safe to take weed while on Inderal. If taken along with Inderal, weed (cannabis) may have additive blood pressure lowering effects resulting in profound hypotension. You may experience headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, and/or changes in pulse or heart rate. Use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
