Patients who are predisposed to psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations or delusions (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, dementias) should avoid marijuana, the THC can exacerbate or precipitate these symptoms. If you are planning to still use marijuana, make sure you are informing your provider about your recreational use of marijuana, and strictly adhere to medication regimens as prescribed.
