Can my 16 year old son smoke cannabis if he is taking roaccutane

Hello,

There are 2 aspects to consider: the "legal" age of consumption for cannabis is currently 18. According to studies, early use of cannabis increases the risk of developing psychotic problems (the absolute risk remains low).

As far as Accutane (isotretinoin) and cannabis are concerned, there is no known interaction, but smoking (tobacco or other) dries out the skin, which amplifies the side effects of Accutane (dryness of the skin and mucous membranes).

I hope I have answered your questions.

Sincerely yours,
