There are a great: No. Of side effects ; contraindications with the use o this drug. I don't see any indications of problems with marijuana(but why use it anyhow?).

Not a good idea: Your acne meds can have brain and mood side effects as can pot. Drug interactions are not available to look up. Pot has 600-700 chemicals in it. Like alcohol, it is best not to mix them because there are too many unknown variables. Certainly there are other natural self-soothing activities you can rely on that are safe. Best wishes.
