Hi, it's mainly the calcium that is the concern. Calcium theoretically makes cipro (ciprofloxacin) less effective. But honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Marijuana affects the brain, and ciprofloxacin also can cause certain CNS (central nervous system) side effects too.

Definitely the elderly are more at risk. Smoking weed may expose you to combustion products in the lungs- that's not good
