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.

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

i don't see why a doc would care, it's not their job to bust you, they'd probably just answer any questions you had and give you their info and leave you to make the decision on how to live your own life

its fine to tell doctors or psychiatrists that you may smoke once and a while...theyll discuss it with you...chances are you wont get busted in any way

Doctors cant get you in trouble because of patient confidentiality. I tell any medical professional who is treating me about it. It's something they should know. My psychiatrist considers it as part of my treatment plan in conjunction with my other medications because it has a positive impact on my moods.

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

At aged 18 coming down of e's I was having panic attacks, I was advised by the doctor in the hospital to smoke a bit! Since then I never looked back, 16 years later tho, my lungs are knackered! That guy who said he smokes half an oz a day, really? I am ok during the day, but find it hard to breath through the night and my wheezing wakes me up and I only smoke like half an oz a week, grant I've been doing it a long time tho. I got a lecture of a nurse once for being honest about my use and another nurse recently was fine about it chatting away saying a lot of people do it, I was in for a knee op, non related, not sure if she would have the same attitude if she had listened to my chest!

Your doctor shouldn't care....I don't understand how some people can be THAT PARANOID about weed.
