I've been taking risperdal for almost 3 weeks and whenever I smoked some weed, it made my high really intense and pretty scarey. Is weed interfering with the medication?

The answer is yes. Smoking marijuana and using this medication is extremely dangerous.

Dear God! You are taking Risperdal likely to stop your hallucinations and/or schizophrenia. Marijuana is a hallucinogenic drug. Duh. Stop that.
