The short answer is yes, you can take both drugs together as long as you follow the correct guidelines. However, you should probably not do this if you are trying to keep your job or if you care about your health.
Many people are under the misconception that weed is completely harmless and can be used simultaneously with prescription medication without any problems. While this may be true for occasional use, there are many risks associated with long-term use that you should be aware of.
Weed Can Override Viagra’s Effect
Even though marijuana is usually prescribed for chronic pain, nausea, and anxiety, studies have shown that it can actually counteract the effects of Viagra and other ED drugs. In fact, it has been shown to be more effective than Viagra in some cases!
If you’re taking Viagra to treat erectile dysfunction and you also plan to use marijuana, this could potentially lead to very serious problems. People with diabetes mellitus, renal failure, or heart disease should not use Viagra because they are at increased risk of complications from overdosing on the drug. Since marijuana is a centrally acting drug, it can have similar (and in some cases more serious) interactions with other medications that affect the central nervous system (CNS).

Marijuana Can Manage Your Appetite
There is also some evidence that marijuana can actually decrease your appetite. This makes it ideal for people with obesity who are looking to lose weight (or for those who just want to stop feeling hungry all the time).
Marijuana has recently been approved by the FDA for treating chronic pain, and there is some evidence that it may be effective in doing so. However, its appetite-suppressing effects make it a less-than-ideal choice for people who are trying to lose weight.
More Medical Research Needs To Be Done
Since marijuana is such a new drug on the market, there is still a great deal of uncertainty regarding its long-term effects and safety. This is why, as long as you follow the right guidelines and dosages, it’s generally considered to be a safe drug to experiment with, but people with severe medical conditions or those who are trying to lose weight should probably not use it. More clinical trials need to be done to establish the risks and safety of marijuana in different populations.
The bottom line is that while there is no evidence that taking weed causes addiction or leads to long-term health problems, there is also no evidence that it is completely safe. This is why doctors typically advise patients to use it only occasionally and why they always recommend following the proper guidelines and dosages.
