Question
Answer
Of course, as a physician, I must also wonder how often and how much you are using alcohol and marijuana. I'm sure you know that it's actually illegal for someone under 21 to be buying alcohol and illegal for anyone to be smoking marijuana.
If you are using these to deal with mood issues, especially depression, please note that alcohol and marijuana AND accutane used alone or in combination can cause or worsen existing depression.
