Is There Any Zloft / Marijuana Drug Interaction

Hello.  I have been prescribed 50mg of Zloft to deal with recent anxiety and panic attacks mostly relating to stress and life changes.  I use marijuana recreationally – usually less than 2 times a month at the most.  I am curious if there are any drug interactions between marijuana and Zloft?

Yes, I have seen many adverse reactions but it depends on the amount of marijuana and the timing.  It can be serious, not just prolonged confusion, but actually changes in blood pressure and in levels of consciousnesss.
