coming from someone who works in a hospital: if a doctor or nurse asks you if you’re using drugs, please tell them if you are and how much you are using. they’re not cops, the only reason they’re not smoking 9 bowls a day is because they’re not allowed to

like it may seem like an invasive or pointless question, but drug use changes what medications you can have and what doses you need. it’s not usually a life or death question, but certain drugs will interact with medications in a way that is potentially fatal. doctors and nurses do not care if you use drugs, they’re not judging you, they simply want to make sure you don’t die in their care.

Always always always be honest with your medical team. They aren’t asking for any reason other than to give you the best possible care.
