well man 15 or not....

You should really ask your doctor. He won't approve of you smoking, but what doctor would? You need to know the facts to be safe.

just be adult about it.

"Doctor, sometimes I smoke marijuana, would it be safe for me to do so in my current condition? "

don't debate with your doctor about whether its right for you to be smoking or not, just ask from a strictly medical standpoint, not a personal one.

Regardless of your age your doctor is obligated to give you an honest professional answer regarding your health issues no matter what the circumstances.......and he must respect the patient - doctor confidentiality. Trust me, you're not the first young pot smoker he has encountered...doctors have seen it all and then some

this is the truth, doctors see everything from brains to shit in a coke bottle inside someones stomache.

Okay well, there's more to the story.
You see, when I got rushed to the hospital, they made me take a piss test.
A few nights before the fall, me and a friend smoked like... 4 bowls and a joint.
Obviously, I failed the test.
He came in after surgery and had this long talk with me about it.
It would be uber awkward talking to him about this now.
Help?

big deal just ask him if it will hurt in any way your curent condition and specificly state you dont want to hear actual morals about the issue...and if he insists bring up the health benifits of marijuana and mention that most of the "bad" side effects documented are from tanted soil/pesisides used in growing in 3rd world contries...like columbia for instance

show him you've done youe homework and hell be surprised

most likely not, they've probably all heard it before.. especially from kids who think they know it all. (been there done that)

If you're too afraid to ask, I don't think you're mature enough to smoke yet..

but who am I to be giving morality lessons?

Weed is a stress reliever unless you smoke a lot with no tolerance and pull your hair out because you forgot how crazy it is to be stoned out of your head.

Jep, my exact thoughts.

Also, why the fuck do they take drug tests?? Hell, if I'm rushed to the hospital they fix me up first, they take blood but there's no drug tests in the standar blood test and it has to be authorized by ME before they can do such tests, unless the police demands a test be done due to circumstances.


Fucked up country you live in, doing drug tests on people for no apparent reason, and your doctor lecturing you about it?? damn, call the guy up explain you'd like to know if it's safe to smoke up or not with regards to your surgery a while ago.

As odd as this may sound, this is a true story. Somebody I know burglarized a grocery store at night (stole boxes of cigarettes) They tripped the alarm and the cops showed up. They took off in their car which started a police chase on the road. The cops shot at the car claiming they were trying to shoot out the tires. They actually shot him with a .357 Magnum in the back of his head. He crashed the car and flipped it over 7 times. He was dead when the ambulance arrived. They managed to revive him and took him to a hospital by air flight in Montreal. They could not operate to remove the bullet as the operation would have killed him...they just waited to see if he would wake up from the coma. 48 hours later he was awake and calling back home to get some weed delivered to the hospital. Somebody went and afterwards the doctor caught him smoking a joint in the bathroom and was absolutely flabbergasted at the idea someone was smoking with his head and face so swollen up that he was barely recognizable. Apparently the look on the docs face was priceless...

They do drug tests on you so they know what drugs are presently in your system at the time you are admitted, so in case they give you any medications at the hospital there are no adverse reactions. It's all confidential anyway and they are not allowed to tell the police what drugs if any you have in your system. However, If you're a minor they can inform your parents. Blood tests are given because they tell whether or not the individual is under the influence of drugs at the time of admission to the hospital, whereas urine tests are used in the court system to detect longer periods of use.

In my opinion it is a good thing that they take your blood and test it before giving you any medications that may have undesirable consequences in conjuction with the drug you are on. I mean, weeed is no big deal. But, imagine if someone was taking heroin or a lot of oxycontin before they went to the hospital and then without knowing this the hospital gave them a morphine drip because the person said they were in pain and suddenly you have an overdose on your hands (extreme case, but definitely a possibility).

Although why they had him take a piss test is beyond me, but it's still confidential. Blood tests make way more sense and it is what I have had done to me in the past when rushed to the emergency room. Maybe they had him take a piss test because of the severity of his injury, a burst blood vessel in the brain is no laughing matter and perhaps they wanted a history of his recreational drug use.

^ When I reacted badly to eating an apple and was rushed to the ER they took blood, but they didn't ask if I was high or drunk or whatever, they just took blood, did what they did to save my life and that was that.

I understand they need to know what's in your system, and I thought that's what they take your blood for, but actually testing for drugs, let alone for cannabis ? Seems a bit of a waste of money and time in my opinion.

I'm not talking about car accidents with drunk drives, they'll see how much he drank when they test his blood, but that's evidence in court.

Also, when someone gets rushed to an ER after suffering head trauma, and pretty massive at that, I don't see why they would force that person to take a piss before operating on him, the fuck is that ??

Yea that's a good point and I was wondering the same thing myself.

Ditto

Well, it's not that I'm scared to ask him, it's just that it's always my mom with me when I go see him.
If it was my dad I would be comfortable enough to talk to my doctor, but it's always my mom.
She doesn't like it all. Doesn't even like my dad smoking.
But like... Every member of my family at one point or another was a HUGE pot smoker.
Again, I would be comfortable asking with my dad present because he doesn't care.

And yeah, I thought it was pretty fucked up too.
It wasn't a blood test, no.
A PISS test. They made me piss in a little cup.
I wasn't in any mood to argue though, so it's whatever.
