work night shift and take melatonin for sleep. wondering if it's safe to combine with cannabis

both make you drowsy so seems like it could be too much?

from healthcare perspective - melatonin and cannabis can enhance each other's sedative effects. start very low if combining

definitely talk to pharmacist or doctor about interactions. better safe than sorry
