Marijuana

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Of the concurrent use of marijuana and cocaine with buprenorphine , cocaine is most concerning since it decreases exposure to buprenorphine (lower area under the concentration-time curve and maximum concentration).
Journal of analytical toxicology  •  2013  |  View Paper
Cannabis users and non-users received similar doses, but users had 2.7-fold higher concentrations of buprenorphine ( p < 0.01) and 1.4-fold for norbuprenorphine (1.4-fold, p = 0.07).
These findings indicate that cannabis use decreases the formation of norbuprenorphine and elevates buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine concentrations in blood most probably by inhibition of CYP3A4.
