Smoking Marijuana can have many adverse effects within the body, but because Phexxi is a topical spermicide which changes the PH in the vagina, it does not have a direct effect. Remember that Phexxi is only about 80% effective in preventing pregnancy and lasts only 1 hour or one ejaculation. Using a condom or other contraceptive method would result in less risk of pregnancy.
