Lifestyle choices: Nexplanon is a very effective form of birth control but does not protect against STDs/STIs. Both alcohol and marijuana can cloud your judgement and you will want to be very careful to avoid exposing your body to sexually transmitted diseases by using a condom each and every time. Be sure that your lifestyle choices do not leave you exposed.
