    They won’t prescribe you your meds if you use cannabis? What the fuck?

    Cannabis is the only way I can function anymore even with my ADHD (I also have EDS and I’m constantly in pain, the ADHD is probably related to the EDS actually, and not a proper manifestation of ADHD)

      Yeah, I didn’t particularly like that doctor. After I had a bad bout of depression, she started treating me like I was an addict drug-seeking, even though I used my meds at work and never used cannabis at work because, you know, rules and stuff.

      I have a hard time believing that she was that critical of prescribing to people who use alcohol on a regular basis.

        The double standard is real, that really blows friendo, I hope you’ve found a better doctor now, or are at least seeking one out.

        It’s wild the spectrum of doctors, my psychiatrist gave me the go-ahead to keep using my psychedelics of choice as long as I do detailed trip reports (psychedelics can be super helpful for depression and (c) PTSD, but you need to use them right)
