notransfer Reviewed by notransfer on 03-08-2007. Should I tell my doctor I smoke? Tommorrow is my annual physical and of course my doctor is going to ask me if I am smoking weed. I have always told them I don't, but this year I am debating on weather or not I should. Should I? Rating: 5

My doc is a complete drone to the drug companies and thinks my smoking is causing all my problems, even though i've had them since I was a little kid.

Dude get a new doc

[GrowRebel]

I agree .... time to get a new doctor .... I've told mine .... VA gives me lots of different young doctors .... plus the nurses know too .... none give me a hard time about it at all.

Get a new doctor.

:noel:

I told mine...and he was very open...saying stuff like "I'm not even gonna ask you to make a decision....I just want you to do what you think is best"

I told him I don't drink or smoke cigarettes or any hard drugs.

He took my position very respectfully.

AND I'M ONLY 16

yeah i told my doc he told me to quit and that in my next appoinment he wants me clean but there wont be a next appoinment ...... im changin docs and ima be 18 so no worries about parents findin out............when I told him he told me about da dumb "gateway to other harder drugs" bullshit..........so I went home and got high

I told my doc. I smoked and he just told me it was bad. My parents know so I didn't care, he didn't tell them anyhow.

My doctor infact, recommends it.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck no man, dont do it, lie liek a mother fucker, years ago my dad told his doctor he smoked, he has epilepsy(he has siezures every once and a while) and nto too many places would give hima job and he was a truck driver so he was fucked over but he was out of work for 2 years and they wouldnt give him disability, you can do what ever the fuck you want man i dont give a shit but my advice would be to tell him you dont smoke buds!

When I was telling my doctor about all the things I've tried to help my chronic pain, I said at the end "well.... and I use, cannabis". All he said was "yeah that'll work pretty well" lol . I like my doc, he's a really smart guy that's always going to international seminars and the such to expand his knowledge, and he just spent 6 months in the Doctors Without Borders program where they work pretty much for free in foreign countries.


On the issue of telling your doc though, I wouldn't recommend it. I told my doc and one other, and I'm sure that having such a thing on my file is part of why doctors still won't give me oxycontin (rather than lame-ass tramadol), since I'm a "drug user" and would therefor only want oxy to "get high"
