Brief Answer:
You may smoke

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

Yes you may safely smoke weed while you are taking antibiotics as mentioned. Weed is unlikely to cause any effect on the metabolism of the antibiotics and there action.

It may sometimes delay in healing of boil. If it is a small boil you may continue smoking.

Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.
