Throughout treatment you may be given a drug panel and, should you come back positive, it can compromise your continued treatment (getting your medication...). I certainly wouldn't risk it.

@Pepper,

As far as potential drug interactions are concerned, I haven't seen documented research suggesting that there's any risk involved with marijuana and harvoni. So my personal opinion is that because you know your body better than anyone else and how these drugs might be affecting you individually (from previous experience - assuming this isn't your first time taking either substance), perhaps a suggestion would be to start with a much smaller dose than you'd typically have for the sake of understanding how your body responds?

Nevertheless, I'd still encourage you to discuss this with your doctor first just so there's no surprises on a drug panel. Depending on the State's marijuana law and doctor's discretion, you may not have anything to worry about... But keep in mind that there's still a growing number of MDs who aren't aware/accepting of marijuana's benefits (probably due to some heavy affiliation with big pharma).

I live in a medical marijuana state and have an excellent infectious disease Doctor. I use marijuana chocolate nightly for relaxion, yoga, and meditation. I was cured in two months with zero viral load at 30 days. Every one of my six physicians have stated (when challenged) that a bit of marijuana instead of ibuprofen or equivalent is much healthier to the body. At 65 I look and act 45. Enjoy a cannabis treat when relaxing. It does heal the body and soul.

Thank you for sharing. Yes in my state marijuana is legal and part of my treatment plan. It helps me forget about everything or what is going on for a few hours. So i guess that you feel better after this treatment? Please share, thanks.

Thank you. I too am a medical cannabis user for sleep. Your post was most informing. Only in my 2nd week of a 90 day treatment and have only smoked 1 night (madicamal vape) to sleep. A restful night it was.

Any updates are great. The side effects of harvoni I am reading are scary. My Dr. only mentioned tiredness. I am a very healthy 55 year old woman except for Hep C.

Re: Joe (# 3) Expand Referenced Message

absolutely right. I have to bake and eat it because of bad lungs. I came down(shortly after finishing Harvoni) with a horrific condition called gastro paresis. And it means just like it sounds; I no longer digest my food at a normal rate. This has caused me to live most of my life in bed; if ANYONE has developed real stomach problems after Harvoni, please share.
