Cannabis oil and Immunotherapy: Are they compatible?
Are they compatible, I.e. taking CO while having immunotherapy? Any experience from anybody who use both?
***Note from the Community Director***
Research continues to indicate that CBD oil interferes with immunotherapy. Here are some references to consider:

– Cannabis Consumption Used by Cancer Patients during Immunotherapy Correlates with Poor Clinical Outcome https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7563978/
As with any complementary therapy, you should always talk with your oncologist. Complementary therapies can interact negatively with immunotherapy or chemotherapies and/or reduce their effectiveness.

My doctor said the same thing to me. So I just to abstain
