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"
