Is anyone on cannabis.com a doctor?

[IceNine]

hey.

Lol ya this just kinda came to me random. I think it would be interesting if anyone on here that smoked the ganja was a doctor, then we could get some real medical opinions on the side effects or benefits and what not.

[Matt the Funk]

I don't think so. I think a lot of people think of birdgirl as a type of doctor. She is knowledgeable that is for sure, but not a doctor.

[Nochowderforyou]

I'm a vagina doctor, and I have come to the conclusion that vaginas are way cool. :thumbsup:

Other than that, nah.

[birdgirl73]

I'm a medical student and a licensed Texas EMT-P (paramedic) but not yet a doctor. My husband is a board-certified physician and is a member here, but neither of us are active cannabis users, and we're learning about cannabis and its medical effects just like the rest of the folks here are. We also have a dentist, at least three RN-level nurses, two degreed lab technicians, a nursing assistant, and several very skilled researchers and medical readers on these boards. I think everyone who even remotely has anything to do with the medical field would agree that everyone's still learning about cannabis. It's a fairly wide open field since there's so much misinformation about it, especially among the medical profession.

[meloncoly]

yes I have a phd in philosophy

[Purple Banana]

I'm one of the aforementioned nursing assistants, with two years of nursing school (didn't finish), and I think one member here is a cardiologist?

I'm working on my English degree right now, but I always keep current with medical research.

[Skwirl07]

I'm a high school senior and will be attending college next year to study physical therapy. In six years I will have my doctorate and will still be smoking the green.

A higher education will not change my opinions of cannabis. If anything it will assist in providing me the financial resources necessary to toke the very best product out there. :rasta:

That's Dave Byrd, my very own husband. Who's lying in bed behind me with an ice pack on his nether regions. He had a vasectomy this afternoon, the brave soul. So there's no longer any hope of more baby Birds at this nest . . . .

[Matt the Funk]

Well since other people are talking about their medical knowledge. I try to study as much as I can, a lot of it medical knowledge. I want to be a psychologist and help people such as me get the help they need. I want to start taking courses next year or as soon as possible. I hate how school just prepares you to have a job.

[IceNine]

good to see that there are some smart ppl here ;) lol

also good to see that people are willing to weed out the myths and facts around marijuana

[pandorasbox]

I'm not a doctor, but I am a pharmacist. :)

[Purple Banana]

Sorry to hear that, BG- I hope he's feeling better soon. He's a nice guy :)

How old are you guys? Where did you find a doc to do it?

My husband and I would love to have it done, but no doctor we've found will do it. :P

[rebgirl420]

I can be anything you want me to be if you pay me 50 dollars:)

We're older and through with our family, so it was quite easy to get a colleague to do the procedure on him. I'm 45 and Dave just turned 50. One of his urologist buddies that practices at his same hospital here in the Dallas-Plano, Texas area did the procedure. We have a 20-year-old son, and I've been holding onto hope that somehow I'd have another all these years. But I've been told the risk of my getting accidentally pregnant at my age and with the cardio challenges I currently have would be a bad idea. I don't like most of the most practical birth control alternatives like diaphragms and no longer am an ideal candidate for the pill. Dave read the birth control thread in the Women's sub-forum and realized he'd been putting it off for too long, so he went for it.

[MissKitten]

Matt the Funk, I'm studying psychology myself so if you need any help getting started or just want to talk to a like minded person, I'm available. I'll be starting grad school soon and though I'm not a professional yet, Id like to think I'm a wealth of knowledge on the process. Just thought I'd throw that out there :)

I find myself wishing you were getting some type of further medical training along with that English degree. You certainly seem astute and interesed enough in the field that you would make a fine RN, nurse-practioner, PA, physician, PT or other allied health professional. My guess is when you leave medical work, you're going to miss it more than you realize.

omg! give him my sympathies :( lol.... he's a braver man then i am... you'd have to tie me down to have that done.... and you better hope you put me to sleep as well, cuz i'd be doing EVERYTHING i could to get loose...

and there's still hopes... c'mon your learning to be a doctor aren't you? you should definately know they're completely reversible...

[jdmarcus59]

hey be a good girl, give it to the one you love

[reprisler]

that's cool there are so many licensed medical workers. i don't have any certifications or anything but i'd like to say i have a pretty extensive knowledge of nutrition and exercise.

[Lamperus]

Medical folks, in my experience, tend to be pot-friendly ...

[RyanTheCaveman]

Well....i want to be a psychiatrist but i am not sure on how to become one...i like helping people/talking with people...
so i guess that sorda like a doctor.

[RyanTheCaveman]

Erm shit i ge words mixed up i meant psychologist. fuck! lol

whoa, I was planning on getting a vasectomy but I didn't realize there was really any recovery pains. Is it such that he needed PK's?

[FakeBoobsRule]

I'm the medical director at a rehab center. Maybe, maybe not.

[Samwhore]

I'm not a doctor, but I am a pharmacist. :)

I want to become a pharmacist, so to your thread, I would like a job in the medical field

[RyanTheCaveman]

Only to get perkacets and xanax? ;)

[Samwhore]

Only to get perkacets and xanax? ;)

shh! nah, its something im interested in, and the campus is around 40 mintues away and tution isnt that bad,

[Specialty Cakes]

yeah, the perkacets and xanax are just a perc ;)

[RyanTheCaveman]

Yeh and the work isn't bad...neither pay...i actually know alot of stoners who want to be a pharmacist for some reason

[birdgirl73]

What kind of rehab, FakeBoobs? Skilled nursing unit/senior-care? Brain injury/stroke? Substance? I have a slight interest in gerontology and would like to know more if you're someone who works in that field. If you prefer to answer it via another route--or not at all--I'll understand!

Bird, I meant drug rehab and as a joke! This is a fine example of how the mind of someone who uses drugs and who doesn't use drugs work. When I hear rehab I think drug and alcohol rehab, it was third on your list! Next time I will use some smilies to show my sarcasm. Well, I laughed I hope you did too.

[Specialty Cakes]

*offtopic* repisler, I laughed my ass off literally for a minute straight when I saw your avatar :p *ontopic*

[RyanTheCaveman]

where is that from??

[birdgirl73]

I'm laughing, too! Because I think you're probably right. What I did was think of all the types of rehab units I've so far encountered and then tried to think of the types of directors, since, of course, I want my suspicions about why you're so smart biochemically and laboratorily confirmed. First I thought of the nursing home my granddad was at (nursing medical director). Then I thought of the stroke place my great grandmother went to (M.D. medical director). Then I thought of facilities for the Betty Fords and Britneys of the world. That's when I had tears running down my face.

You're quite awesome, FBR, whatever you do. And if you do work with old folks, tell me via my sig.

[mrdevious]

First of all, let me just say....

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I'm a respectable 21yo (22 april 14th), let me know if you have any lonely daughters about my age ;) .


On topic, I have a PhD in Deviousness, but retired a few years ago.

[vileoxidation]

I want to be a doctor, but the extra years of schooling and the timing just don't seem to be right. I want to start a family somewhat soon, as my boyfriend is a bit older then I am and is not getting any younger, and I don't want to be in medical school with young children. Maybe I will take a page from your book, Birdgirl, and get my medical degree when my children are grown...but that just seems like putting off what I want to do for so long.

I can't seem to reconcile the two issues, having a family and going to medical school. I desperately want to do both, and I am entirely unsure that it will ever happen. I have almost resigned myself to just getting my B.S. and my Masters and then starting my family and that be the end of it, but I really hate to give up the dream.

[Matt the Funk]

I actually have lately been wanting to be a caregiver. I don't know if that could be a full time job but I would love to do it. I'd have to get good at growing, but it's something I think I would enjoy. Watching the plant from seedling to harvest. Helping someone too. It just sounds like a great job.

[missybit]

right now, i give psychological tests for a living. one day in the not-terribly-distant future, i'll go to grad school and become a licensed therapist, and work with adolecents.
