Lie to your doctor

[Eruva]

Sorry in advance for venting.

My assessment was to be done in 2 appointments. I've done the first part and had scheduled the second appointment for next week, but I just got a message saying they won't finish the assessment because I use medicinal cannabis, which is legal here and which I have a doctor's recommendation for. If I want to continue, I'll have to cease using cannabis as well as alcohol for 30 days.

I prefer to be honest with doctors so that their advice will be as accurate and helpful as possible, but if I had just lied, this problem wouldn't exist. Now I have to decide if it's worth it to me to quit my medicine for a month in order to pursue this.

If you can cope without it then do so.

If the medicinal cannibis is on your doctor's recommend, maybe discuss it with them first? Perhaps a suitable alternative for 30 days? (That won't affect test results?)

All can go back to the way it was after the testing.

Perhaps there's a valid reason for taking cannibis out of the equation for the purpose of testing?
