Question

I am ready to try Suboxone for my opiate addiction. Will I have to stop smoking marijuana at the same time? Or is this totally unrelated? I do not know how to ask my doctor this question.

It is great to learn about your path away from opiates. Generally marajuana will not interfere. It is important that you develope a relationship with your provider to ask directly. Consider your approach to being sober and straight as a progression. Your first major step is dealing with the opiates.
