Can I still smoke marijuana with this medication. Doctor: Hello,  Marijuana and gabapentin, both may cause excessive sedation, so, it's advisable for avoid simultaneous use. You can smoke marijuana ( small amounts ) before sleep.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr. Erion Spaho
