No, you don't. However, I must say that it is a good idea if you have never tried marijuana so that your doctor can assess risk vs. gain while taking into account your medical history. The downfall is that many doctors will drop you as a patient if they know that you are using marijuana. I guess it could be a mixed blessing though since you could then find a pcp that is cool with MMJ. Hope this helps you!:rasta:

i wouldn't tell! if he makes note of it and your insurance company finds out, they'll probably drop you. i just applied for individual insurance, and one of the questions was about drugs. they include the ganga with the bad stuff, it's all the same to them.
i strongly advise against it.

I know you have been seeing this doc a while, I assume that anyways. You should have repour with her, and she should have the education to assist you, not the furthering of your symptoms and LACK OF RELIEF! Find another Doctor! Even if it takes a while. Do your research! Find one before you drop one!
