Can a doctor tell the cops

[Nicko81m]

If he or she knows you smoke pot?

[tadaa]

Nope.

[yoda]

nope, a cop can be standing right there when you answer, and they cant do shit about it

[LordRuffleMontgomery]

You can tell a cop to his face that you smoke pot without being arrested.

[dopesmoker]

isnt it illegal for a doctor to give away personal information like that even if its about weed?

[Nicko81m]

Thanks guys. I was just a bit paranoid thats all

[dopesmoker]

did you tell a doctor that you smoke pot?

[STDzRus]

Nope. They can't arrest you on basis of having pot in your system either. They must have evidence that you somehow possess or distribute it somehow.

[mrdevious]

A doctor would lose his/her license for releasing confidential information. the only situation in which they're allowed to release information is if you tell them you plan to hurt or kill somebody. Even if the doctor told the cops you were smoking a joint right in front of him, it would be inadmissable in court.

[bonsaiguy]

The exception would be if you are a minor, and you tell the doc you smoke pot with your parents or that they gave you the pot. Then it reverses and the doc is probably required to report to CFS because of the child abuse laws. I'm not positive but pretty sure that giving illegal drugs or even legal ones like alcohol to your minor children is both illegal and considered abusive. If that's the case the doc is required by law to report to Social Services who would then get the cops involved.

[notrightquite]

Quite right, Bonsai.

But, yeah, everyone should seriously let your doc's know EXACTLY what you put in your body so that they can serve you better. Really. It can save your life at some point.

except in the case of alcohol, a child may drink with a parent's consent in the privacy of that parent's home.


but i dont actually KNOW this...

I don't believe this is true. If for some reason the cops come to the house and find that alcohol is being served to minors they will arrest for contributing to minors. That is all..on paper though. Each cop to his own will decide if they need to arrest.

[chisme]

no they r bound by the privacy descretion law as in if a patient tell them a confidential thing such as smoking cannabis if he was to reveal that information to anyone he is liable to be struck off from the medical profession.

not the like exact copy of the law lol its in my own words but i think thats the jist of it any one here a doc?

[chisme]

Quite right, Bonsai.

thats right man i think thats why they got the thing were the docs cant narc because people wouldnt b honest about what they doin and shit.:thumbsup:

YEP ur absolutly rite

[Powder Puff]

Patient and doctor confidentiality..

I said mine..

A doctor would lose his lisence if he were to tell the police something you told him in confidence.

Doctors need to know what's going on with your body. I actually recommend being completely honest in the doctor's office. I'm asthmtic though, so it's important to let my doctors know. :dance:

Im pretty sure its LEGAL for your parents to give you alcohol. Well if they were getting you smashed everynight CPS might have a problem with that , but other than that its legal. Im pretty sure your parents can also order alcoholic drinks for you in restruants and you can legally drink them.

[BiG WiCkEd]

Nah man your trippin.
A doctor could give a flyin fuck about snitchin on you...only reason he would ask you is for health reason, obviously.

[Tmar.aLL.DaYmar]

i used to work in the medical records department of a hospital. its illegal for the doctor to disclose any information to anyone without your written consent. unless your a minor, then he can tell your guardians.

and no, an officer cant arrest you for being drunk or high. thats why when your at a party, just throw your drink straight down if u hear the cops are coming, then technically they cant arrest you unless your in possession of it or your drinking it.

but ive been to alot of parties that have been busted, and cops usually dont follow this, and i doubt that it would stand up in court.

I'd like to inform you of "public intoxication". It's a very real law. My buddy James got arrested for bloodshot eyes!!

Bullshit. I'm currently on week 4 of house arrest because I was stopped by the police while walking on the sidewalk down a semi-main street, stumbling a little bit but not shit faced drunk, because someone drove by and reported me for stumbling around. I wasn't holding, or drinking or smoking at the time, I was just drunk, and they took me in. :mad:

[Irv]

bummer acid, sounds like you live in a place like virginia...
anyway no doctor in their right mind blabs, it's professional suicide, drs know better than anyone how "harmful" bud is in the scheme of things

[AcidFreak]

Oops

[AcidFreak]

bummer acid, sounds like you live in a place like virginia...

I live in Johnson County, KS :mad:
I fuckin' hate it, the cops here I'm pretty sure are some of the biggest assholes in the whole country...the whole court system in general here is fucked...trust me I have stories.

[insanity]

I only know the Oregon laws, so here is a summary:
You can be nailed with intoxication laws for driving under the influence of any illicit drug (they require a piss test if they have reason to suspect it). But, if you are walking down the street blazed cops can't do shit unless you're a threat to the general welfare. Alcohol is the only drug you can get in trouble with after consumption. A parent can give only thier kids alcohol in thier own house, if that kid leaves the house he could be hit with a Minor in Posession by Consumption and his parents would have to foot the bills of any damage.
