Has anyone ever told their doctor they smoke weed?

wow thank you for correcting me on my typo, i'm sure nobody could have deciphered that i must look like a monkey's ass.

oh wait, you being the gramactical genius that you are should have realized that is spelled with an -ed not a t, and gosh the word right before the one you were correcting on me. believe me i took a minute to laugh. please enlighten me some more, whereas i simply called you a douche at the end of a post you have progessed onward form the "i bet you don't know what it is" shit to correcting my typos in my posts. if you want to go back a few i'm sure i have made some more.


let's see, you came after me decalring that my post was a fallacy, acting like you knew more than this supposed kid, when in all acuallity this kid knows more than you, and proved it. and i'm not talking about just the difference between the two healthcare professionals (only psychiatrists are called shrinks), and THAT my dear douchbag is taking you to school.

You 2 are arguing about grammar, spelling, and who "owned" who, essentially. Just let it go, stupid little misunderstandings are inevitable, neither of you deserve hate from the other over this insignificant argument.

And this is the kind of reply a child would give. Carry on saying what you like, im not bothering with you anymore.

Doctors won't say anything. Shit, it's the same with tabacco. lol
Like someone said, weed isn't that serious.

I'm a physician, and I hear of patients who use cannabis on occasion, but I have a mostly elderly patient population. If I treated younger patients, I'd probably hear it a lot more often. I don't encourage cannabis use for cardiology patients.

In the U.S., it's true that physicians can't violate your confidentiality by revealing your drug history to anyone such as your family members if you're past a certain age, which varies by state. But what people sometimes forget is that conditions and diagnoses are encoded and submitted with the claim to health insurance payors. If, for instance, you came in with a nasty case of pneumonia and mentioned that you were a heavy cannabis smoker, that could easily be noted on your chart and your insurance company might see that.

This wouldn't get you in trouble with the law or with anyone in your family. But sometime down the road, such information might well be the cause of your being turned down for medical or long-term care insurance.
