Birth control : Marijuana does not affect the efficacy of progesterone-only birth control pills. These type of pills do not increase the risk of stroke or blood clots like estrogen containing pills. Marijuana laws vary by state so please check with your local guidelines to determine if this is a legal or illegal activity in your jurisdiction
