Warnings to watch: Interactions of marijuana and a range of pain medications exist and raise risks of dizziness and in worst cases CNS depression that can be fatal in extreme instances. So, do NOT use pot in combination w/ pain meds w/out clearing it w/ your provider. But this drug has no interaction w/ marijuana at all . So, as long as it is legal where you'd use it - you're safe. The law can hurt you, so take care

Yes in a way: It may "enhance " other meds ie muscle relaxers pain meds etc it certainly would be important to tell your dr say if you were in mood meds like antidepressants because it would again be a factor I hope that answers your question as far as does it "interact"
