Given a lack of research on the simultaneous use of marijuana (also frequently called weed and pot) and birth control, it?s currently unclear how pot and the pill may interact or conflict with one another. However, it's known that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a chemical compound found in marijuana, naturally elevates blood pressure. This elevation may pose a risk for people with certain pre-exis...

Using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (Ajzen, 1988) as a conceptual framework, 705 secondary school students were surveyed to identify their intentions to use birth control pills, condoms, and birth control pills in combination with condoms. Hierarchical multiple regression revealed that the theory explained between 23.5% and 45.8% of the variance in intentions. Variables external to the model ...

To add to that, I have Hashimoto's, a reason why I am a bit worried about taking birth control pills. I would seriously prefer birth control pills (while using the condoms of course), but friends who have had hypothyroidism have warned me against birth control unless I begin taking thyroid supplements (which I have been advised are premature at this stage).
