Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Smoking can increase drug metabolism and could make it little ineffective. Better to avoid it with antibiotic. After antibiotic, you have restart smoking. If you want to smoke, it can do it occasionally due to absence of any major interaction between amoxicillin and cannabis, but you have to smoke in control dose.

Thanks
