Drug interaction with marijuana

I am not aware of any drug interactions between marijuana and other drugs. I know that in combination with other drugs can effect the way you feel the effects of each drug, but there is no real drug interaction to my knowledge. Especially nothing dangerous.

I am going in for an esophagogastroduodenoscopy and a colonoscopy. I will be put to sleep for the entire procedure. I don't plan on smoking the morning of the procedure, but I intend to keep smoking up to the night before.

I will be truthful to the dr and anesthesiologist, but I want to educate myself also. I'm sure the doctor would have told me to stop smoking, but I have had other doctors tell me to quit for no good reason. Simply because they are opposed to it. I don't like those doctors.

So are there any drug interactions between marijuana and other drugs?
 
I remember reading that weed can interact badly with some of the neuroleptics (antipsychotics), but I'll imagine that you don't have any of those concerns. cn
 
So you're having an endoscope go down your esophagus all the way to the beginning of your small intestine, and you're having your large intestine scoped out. Is there a reason they aren't inspecting your jejunum and ileum while they are already checking your duodenum?

A) I highly doubt that cannabis adversely affects other drugs. If it did I would suspect that the anti-cannabis clowns would tout this as a reason that it should be illegal.
That being said I suppose it's possible.

B) Since you won't be high while the other drugs are doing their thing, I don't think it would even be possible for any kind of interaction to take place between the two.
 
I don't know exactly what he plans to put me on. He said the procedures will take about 10 minutes, but it will feel like 2 seconds to me. I will nod off, then immediately wake back up (or so I will think). But I will be groggy the rest of the day. I plan to have a fat one rolled up.

I have been on a low fiber diet for 2 days on top of getting a migraine and feeling shitty. Tomorrow is an all clear liquids diet along with a bunch of laxatives. I plan on smoking a fat one and eating a very greasy high fiber lunch following the procedure.

I don't know. This is just what the doctor told me.

A. interesting.

B. That is what I thought too, but if there is potential for a bad reaction I didn't know if trace amounts could set it off. I'd rather not be the guinea pig to find out marijuana and whatever crazy purple knock out gas they give you for a colonoscopy is a deadly mix.
 
Probably fentanyl plus Versed. When I had to swallow the videodick, that's what they gave me, and not enough of either. I remember eeeeverything. cn
<add> Neither interacts in a malign way with weed.
 
I need to remember to request that he does the esophagogastroduodenoscopy THEN the colonoscopy and not vice versa. That would be a shitty way to start my day.

Never a worry. The good ones wipe the probe on their coats. If you see diagonal stains on his, you know to relax. cn

you might want to go easy on the grease and fiber right after the procedure. Your system is going to be a tad delicate from the change in diet, laxatives and the intrusive procedure. LOL

Oh and a little tip from a gay guy. When the doctor starts to insert the probe? Push out like you're trying to push out a turd. You can't tense up when you're pushing out and it makes a HUGE difference.

My system is already pretty delicate, hence the procedure. Water gives me cramps and diarrhea. So does greasy fast food, but not much worse, and it taste a hell of a lot better.
 
And it makes your diarrhea much more entertaining. Nowt but win. cn

Didn't even start that yet. I drank some chicken broth and felt sick afterwards. Not sure why, but it made me feel very gross. I will be sustaining on jello and gatorade for the rest of the day. I am about to take my dulcolex, and then a huge thing of miralax, then more dulcolex. Then I assume my body will turn itself inside out. I will spend the rest of my evening between the couch and the toilet.
 
I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy, and toked beforehand. They put you under before they whip out the probe. My gastroenterologist was hot as hell too, blond woman, tall, sexy, all I remember is laying on the bed looking at what looks like a scuba diving regulator hose and knob and she asked me to roll over on my side, then lights out.

The worst is the day before you have to drink that salty nasty crap and can't eat anything, and shit everything out of your system.

Only drug I've ever had interact badly with cannabis is tricyclic antidepressants used to treat nerve pain.

Heavy users can have a higher tolerance to anesthetics. Probably why you remember everything.
