smoking and usage

Kwayle · #1 (**permalink**) 03-21-2005, 11:35 PM

Just wondering ... Do you feel you can talk honestly with your healthcare providers about your marijuana use? How about if you do not have a condition that would qualify you for medical marijuana? Thanks for sharing your suggestions ans experiences!

I have a chronic, somewhat debilitating illness. I see multiple specialists. There are very few people I feel uncomfortable about my smoking with. But for some reason, in six years I have never told any of my docs that I puff.

I just get the feeling they would put a very negative spin on things as related to my condition, regardless of the validity.

I have multiple sclerosis, one of the conditions that would qualify me for medical marijuana if I lived in Canada but not here in the good-old-god-fearing USA. Still, I can't bring myself to discuss it with any of the bunch of doctors I see, either. That's just another example of the wrong done by keeping it illegal.

Nope, I just remarked that I have a condition that would qualify me for medical marijuana, not that I want or need to ask a doctor for a prescription. (I've had a good source for years before I had a medical condition.) All I mean is, it sure would be nice to be able to talk with health-care providers about marijuana's benefits, deficits, interaction with other drugs/medicine, etc. This kind of honesty is prevented by our archaic drug laws.

Whenever I see my psychiatrist, I tell him about it. He doesn't seem to have a problem with it. But when I told him about me getting drunk one time, he told me that wasn't a good idea. My Doctor really knows what the true evil is.
