what do u tell your doctor???

[Stemis516]

so i go to the docs office as im sure many of u have been also and ur barraged with a bunch of questions

do u drink?
smoke?
weed?
harder drugs??

what do u guys answer to all of these?? and also list your age too because i think that has somethign to do with it

personally i know that there is a confidentiality agreement with the doctor but im 20 and i still cant get the balls to say...ya i smoke weed alot, and use pills i dont have a prescription for....i finally told him i drank once i entered college but then they ask how much and im like uhhhh few drinks on the weekends...when in reality its like blacking out 4 nights a week

so what do u guys say??? i know its best healthwise to just be straight, but im talking about just for like normal checkups or physicals or something minor like the flu....if it was a serious life threatening issue id come out with everything

Im actually kindve in this boat. My docter has made a couple of comments about my breathing being raspy, and knowing that I dont smoke cig's he said this last time that I saw him that if it still sounded bad next time he wanted to do a breathing test. Before that happens I think im going to have to cop to being a daily toker. Oh well what can he do. Im almost as old as he is so I figure ill just be straight with him. I wont tell him about the fact that I like to experiment with other peoples pill's though, that's my business. Just my two cents. peace

My doctor knows i smoke cigsheavily, smoke weed heavily, take magic mushrooms and LSD on occasion and also cocaine. You know why i told him it all? So if anything happens to me they know not to give me a drug that could interfer with anything i've already taken, and ultimately, im fine with him knowing, he cant tell anyone and im not a liar. I also drink but not heavily.

Tell the doctor the truth! I was pleasantly surprised when my (oh so straight) doctor admitted to me that he used to use pot in college! He still wouldn't give me a recommendation for mmj (I'm in Cali and a "legal" user) because he's too afraid of the Feds. (I don't blame him, small town and he has a lot to lose if busted) Doctors are prohibited from busting you, so there is no risk there (they would lose their medical licence if they busted you). Tell him/her the truth- it may save your life during an OD or other emergency!

My Doctor: So, do you drink on the weekends?

Me: Yep.

Doc: Smoke pot?

Me: word.

Doc: Alrite well be careful. Have a nice day



Real conversation. It's all about being honest

Well, I only see one doctor and that's just to get prescription refills and he knows that I smoke cannabis. He's all for the use of cannabis for medical reasons and he even asked how much I was paying once! He asked, how much for a 1/4 these days? Uhhh, like $60.

He's a good guy, I like him.

^^ Haha thats awesome.

I told my doc i drink at weekends which is true.
He asked if I smoke I said no.
He's never asked about any drugs though, maybe cuz im too young.

When my doctor asks if I smoke, I always say only weed. I think if they are going to properly diagnose me, they need all the facts. If my lungs sound bad, and he thinks I dont toke, he might think its something else.
