Q: Bc Pills & Smoking Pot

asked by: evelina420 on August 2nd, 2004

I just started taking the pill (yasmin) about 2 weeks ago. I don't smoke cigarettes on a regular basis---i'll have a couple when i'm in a club which is like once or twice a month. However, I smoke marijuana almost daily...Only once a day though and like 2-10 hits. Will this cause a problem since I am taking bc pills? I read the entire pamphlet and there is no info on this.. And I realize that pot is illegal (still!!!) but some people still smoke it regardless so those who write up these pamphlets should include info on this matter. Any answers would be of much help. Thank you.

It has absolutely no effect on bc. I'm pretty sure of this.

Yeah, I am also pretty darn sure that it doesn't affect it. I think you are not suppose to smoke cigarettes because the nicotine causes blood clots, but don't quote me on that.
But be careful what you take though. Even over the counter herbal supplements make bc ineffective. Ie st. John's wart. And they are not required to say that, so just be careful!
