DOSE:
300 mg oral Pharms - Bupropion (daily)
  0.5 g smoked Cannabis (daily)
BODY WEIGHT: 180 lb
I had been taking Wellbutrin for several weeks as prescribed by my doc for depression. I had resisted smoking pot or drinking for the sake of trying to get my mental health on track.

That lasted until a good friend offered to split a joint with me before he left for the summer. I obliged, he rolled up a fairly wide joint, I approximate 1 gram split between the two of us. I don't consider myself a lightweight, and this was a normal sized dose before I started taking Wellbutrin.

Smoking was going well until about 10 minutes after we finished, I started feeling very uneasy about sitting down, I felt like I had to move around in a very anxious sort of way. The Wellbutrin reminded me of taking a low dosage of amphetamines, I felt very vigilant but not paranoid, just uneasy. One thing I did also notice was that music did not seem to be 'extra-good' like it normally is stoned. It just seemed like normal life. I also did not get the 'munchies' as I normally do. I would suspect this is due to the increased dopamine from the Wellbutrin.

At around the hour mark I began to come down and life returned somewhat to normal. Overall, I will probably continue smoking pot while on wellbutrin, however, the experience of being stoned was not the same (nor as good) as normal.
