Is there any interaction between birth control (lutera) and medical marijuana use (smoking)?

Not Likely: I am not aware of any interaction between birth control pills and marijuana use. Of course, this has not been well studied.

Probably not but...: Smoking marijuana has plenty of other negative physical and psychological consequences that may impair your judgement and decision making putting you at risk for STDs etc. You should use caution whenever an illicit drug is used with a prescription medication.
