I'm not sure hrs being straight with you. I'd read up on the laws and make a stink of a complaint when you find a new GP.
I've been lied to by more medical staff than I would ever have imagined. I take Norco (5/325s) at night;it's the cannabis and hydrocodone together that keep me from squirming off the bed.
If he's giving an ultimatum because of his political views, I would consider that unethical behavior unbecoming of a supposed healer. If he lied to you, you can't ever trust him ever agsin; he broke a (nearly) sacred agreement.
I think we've both known a lot of pot smokers over the decades. NONE of them have had issues with combining the two. Nobody I know has died, gone to the hospital, or been laid ip because of using both.
Lying is a massive 'sin' in my opinion. No excuse. Medical egos need to be popped.
And we should show appreciation for the good ones.
I understand your view and have sided with it many years, because no one should be in pain.
Just know there is a difference between smoking some low grade weed and popping a pill. Older people with health issues and stronger weed and concentrated are different. I also get that Doctors following the money along with lobby's for other drugs and alcohol have painted Cannabis black. For this there is no excuse, its is beyond a lie. Standing in the way of cures for many life threatening illnesses, including cancer. It is a sin against ethics taken in their hippocratic oath.
