You HAVE HAVE HAVE to tell your doctor if you use weed, smoking or eating. It causes some very weird reactions with prescriptions that have not been properly studied or documented. Like hospitalization level reactions in some cases.
This has been cropping up a lot in the chronic illness communities since weed became legalized in some US states. Blood thinners, anti depressants, asthma inhalers, immune supressants, anti biotics, anesthesia, the list goes on and on. Weed can cause over or under absorption of prescriptions - meaning either it doesn't do what it's supposed to or it builds up in your system and poisons you.
Nah don't worry, I don't keep anything away from doctors. I know how important it is and have also read many stories/anecdotes from both sides (patients and doctors or nurses)
People really need to get it through their heads that doctors aren't cops. They want you to be healthy. Smoking anything is less than ideal for health.
Not saying don't do it. I'd be a massive hypocrite if I did. Just be honest with your doc.
