Tried to get my addy script, what did I do wrong?

A while ago I went to a new doctor I had only seen a couple of times. I told him about how I had been diagnosed with ADD and had a prescription three years prior. This is all information that was available to him in my medical records, which were in front of him. Then he asked me if I had ever smoked marijuana. I told him I had but not often. he started to act concerned and asked me questions like if I have tried heroin or methamphetamine. I told him no, which is true but he seemed sketched out at this point and told me that I was just trying to use one drug to cover up the negative side effects of another.
I asked him if he could prescribe me adderall because of my concentration issues, which I do actually have. I can do whatever I want without adderall, but I definitely notice my attention span isn't the best. I thought that because I had been prescribed adderall and other add mess for 4 years he would just write a script up real fast for me.
So what do you think I did wrong? How should someone approach their doctor about drugs that are commonly abused?

Find a new doc and tell them you have never done any drugs, first of all.
Secondly, act as ADD as you can during the appointment. A "what did you say" or a "I'm sorry, can you repeat that" while you're glancing off into daydream land goes a long way.
Third, don't fucking press it. Never recommend a drug for yourself. If they start you off on Ritalin or whatever go back the next time and start listing off all the side effects on drugs.com. Sell that shit in the meantime at your local college and make some fuckin' bank.
Fourth, have a legit story that you've been to psychiatrists and shit not just some hobo doctor that said you had ADD.
Not sure what else to say, I had a previous diagnosis from when I was like 11 when I went in to my college DR and he was all about prescribing me madddddd Adderall.

You've used marijuana, but you didn't like the way it felt.

Simple. Don't tell doctors of previous drug use. Normally don't mention any specific name of what you're trying to get. Try and just use a letter or a sound of something you want. Have a tiny bit of knowledge as to the symptom the medication is supposed to be used for but wear an air of ignorance about how its treated as well.
Usually telling any doctor of any previous drug use/abuse, is a deal breaker.
Knowing when to push them in the direction you want, or step back and let them lead the way. When to name a medication specifically or just prod them towards what you want.
It's difficult and takes practice but it gets easier over time.
That being said, you will also get worse at it the further you get into use of different substances.

I'm diagnosed by a professional psychiatrist just like you said, it was in my records
I probably didnt act as add as I normally am when I'm casual. I space off all the time.
Thanks for the advice ill try again sometime in the future. I guess I just thought it was unusual because before this guy I basically had to convince doctors NOT to prescribe me Adderall 
God, should not have said I smoked weed, that opened the floodgates.

You can always switch doctors.. There are plenty of doctors who will force drugs on you as well.

It's true there are a lot of doctors. I don't care that mug though, this actually happened about 6 or 7 months ago and I just thought about today and was wondering what I said that made him think I was a drug addict. I do kind of think I'm a poly drug addict to a small degree, but I Still don't feel like I said anything to alert that.

Often times very simple things can set off a warning like facial features and body language.
Eventually you get enough practice to the point of where you do all the thing's I've mentioned above without even thinking and it seems natural. But like I said there is not only usually a cost but the end result will more then likely end up with you looking like you are an obvious drug addict.

I should say that how I explained it is how it happened for me anyway.

Say this. "No sir my mom said not to smoke pot" isn't remotely believable, haha.
