Do You Tell Your Dr?

Where I live, I don't think a regular doctor will prescribe Marijuana. They can give a recommendation which you bring to the doctor who is certified in prescribing marijuana and that doctor will then give you your legal recommendation that you can use at the dispensary. Most people do not get a recommendation from a GP as far as I know but if you do have one, I've seen that some "Marijuana Doctors" will give you a discount on your medical card.

http://www.safeaccessnow.net/doctors.htm shows a list of doctors who will give recommendations. It does say that physicans are "free to recommend" but I've never gotten a recommendation from my GP. I am too nervous to even mention that I use marijuana.

I think that by not telling you are not helping.
Theres not enough studies and for instance if enough people went to their doctors and said Yes I use MMJ and it has helped me by..........
I use it for Depression My Doctor put me on Anti- Ds and I was a total wreck within 3 years and found myself in a place I didn't like.
I quit the Anit Depressind meds but the world was a fucked up place I didn't belong in.
Then I started using MMJ, I'm happy, I'm not drinking any more and life is good...

I didn't tell my GI (gastroenterologist) about it for a while! I thought he would really look down on it, mainly because of his age! I never lied to him about it just never told him! Then one day he asked and I totally paused for way too long and he knew so I had to say yes at that point! I was really glad I did because he also put me on dronabinol. He said he use to write scripts for dronabinol when he was a young doc in the military and though it was way better than taking all the zofran or promethazine I was taking! They dont get me high but def make the body feel more relaxed and seems to make it last longer as well!

i went to kaiser recently for a physical check up. i hadn't gotten one in years. since the last check up i have gained a few pounds. as he was asking me if i take any medications i just nodded my head saying no and i had a feeling that he was going to ask me about drugs next. so then it happened, he asked me if i take any drugs i told him 'just marijuana'. after that he asked how often and i said about once or twice a week (which is a total lie. i smoke every single day). so then he asked me why i started smoking. i told him that i was in college and was curious. but that was that. towards the end he told me that it was weird for a guy my age to come in for a regular physical check up. he says most guys my age go in there usually when something is wrong with them. so he asked me if i came in for a particular reason and i said "no, just wanted to see if everything is ok." after that he gave me a weird look and said, "well, everything is normal you are a little bit overweight but everything else is top notch". so that's when i dropped him the bombshell and told him, "actually, doc i smoke every single day." and he said "well son, from the looks of it it ain't doing you any harm". so that's when i knew i found my official doctor. lol
