Side affects from taking lithuim and weed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lithium & weed: There's no direct interaction here -- but if you're on lithium, chances are very good that you have bipolar disorder. Smoking marijuana risks perceptual disturbances, psychosis, and paranoia. It can also lead to depression, or destabilized mood. None of this do you want in bipolar disorder! however, lithium can be used to withdraw from marijuana. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18515451.
