Is Using Marijuana Safe While On Azithromycin?

hello, i got prescribed Azithromycin for a 5 day dose starting with 2 pills for the first day. I often use marijuana for relieving stress and mild anxiety day to day. Is this safe to use with marijuana and if so will it lessen the effects of my prescription?
