BokingTowls Reviewed by BokingTowls on 06-12-2007. Has anyone ever told their doctor they smoke weed? ... even though they don't live in a medical marijuana state? I'm thinking of telling him I smoke once a week just to get his opinion of the situation. Has anyone else ever done this. If so, what was the docs response? I understand, legally, he can't go to the police. Rating: 5

No, but I told a cop today.. He didn't care.. I even think he knew it before hand..

I always tell my doctors. I even had a doctor at one of the pain clinics I went to tell me that most people he sees would like to smoke and that it would help them, but they don't have the connections to do so (he said I was lucky I was in college and knew people...)

If your doctor has a problem with it, explain your reasoning. Legally, he cannot tell anyone. He can't do a damn thing. If he gives you a really hard time about it, consider going somewhere else, but it really shouldn't be a problem. I've only had one doctor really give me shit about it, and I've probably told over 30 (I have really fucked up health problems).

hell yes...lie to your priest..lie to the pope ....llie to your wife...if need be but do not lie to your doctor about anything. I told my doc that I smoked and that I drank a fifth of jack a week...so she could treat me corectly. when it comes to your health if you are not honest they cannot help you...and you will die prematurely.........*make sure all you guys get a female doctor with small fingers before your 40.

That's the best fucking advice I've ever heard in my life. You're hilarious.

Always tell your doctor.
If your doctor has a problem with it, get a new doctor.

Exactly, marijuana is the most popular illegal substance used by people, so if he is shocked to find one of his patients is smoking pot then he sure doesn't have much experience. You always want a doctor you can be completely honest with about your health, otherwise you are wasting your time with a doctor you don't talk about some important things he should know.

I told my doctor because of the research I found about marijuana greatly helping people with Crohn's disease. He claimed he did research and came back to me saying he doesn't recommend it's use, despite my own personal success. So I said "fuck you" and went to a pot doctor and got legal. Soon I plan to mail him all the information on the internet I found supporting marijuana and Crohn's disease, with a nice little letter telling him I'm still smoking

He can't do shit, and even if he did cops don't really care about individual pot smokers, they are only going after the dealers and co-ops (many are ignoring those too)

After doctors told me that there's nothing more they can do, and I told them that Pot works wonders (for the pain), they agreed with me.

In the uk as long as your above 16 doctor patient confidentialty applies. although i dont know about illegal stuff... wow im useless...

It's any age really. But with little kids parents go in with them i supose. But whatever age you are, doctors cannot talk to anyone outside the room about it, or they'd be struck off.

My doctor knows i smoke large amounts of weed - he didnt care, and he didnt try and tell me all the "bad" things about it, which is just as well otherwise i would have had an argument with him.

I've told police before too - it's not like they can do anything. Well, in America they can but that's because the laws are so over the top. I still cant belive any country in the west would class cannabis as more dangerous, or more illegal than cocaine. Complete joke.

Yes quite open with the doc, told her i smoke and asked her Questions about how long it would take to get clean for a drug test.The doctors ur friend u should be able to tell em anything abt ur body and what u do with it so they know whats wrong with you .:jointsmile:
