Do you guys tell your doctor you use drugs?

Going to a new doc in a week. Always had the mind set that I don't want some file floating around saying I eat acid and mushrooms. Should I keep it that way?
I figure, it's a doctor, they should know the shit you do to your body but the gf said fuck that don't tell them.

I don't have a doctor but I would be completely open with them, it makes no sense to even go to a doc if you don't give them all the information they need.

No. Do not tell them. If you ever plan on getting anything like life insurance in the future those medical records will fuck your shit up and make you ineligible. It also makes you ineligible for certain treatments, even if you really need pain medications, like you just had surgery or something.
I would never tell them unless it was relevant to what I was being diagnosed or treated for.

Yeah unless I'm there for taking drugs in the first place they have no right to know.

I don't tell my docs what i like. Even if it's just hallucinogens, they aren't going to understand what they do or how they work, and you may very well be laughed at like i was by a nurse or something. they don't need to know for the most part what you do with your time.

Your General Practitioner? Sure, why not? It's not like a doctor can have you arrested for using drugs, doctor-patient confidentiality clause.

i'm sure there are some out there that know about it and maybe even have used. i've met a lot of docs that didn't know their shit, even one neurologist.

Yeah i guess it's really uh, dependent on your doctor and how well you know/trust them. If it's just some random doctor you've never met I wouldn't tell them things... However if it's a GP you've known for years and know is accepting of the use of psychedelics and such, it's a bit easier to talk to them about things.

sure, i didn't even get to the trust thing. i had been seeing my doc for a long time and was totally comfortable telling them stuff like that, they just didnt know and the specialist's nurse that they sent me over to (neurologist) laughed at me, and the neurologist gave me a reflex exam and told me to go back to school because i was smart. can't tell you how frustrated with them as they wasted valuable time.

If he takes your blood, he'll know instantly from the lsd residual deposits you and all acid users carelessly leave behind in your spine.
You need to drain the fluid if you want to convincingly lie.

I hear an ice pick right at the base of the spine is a good start.

Because of how I appear, many docs treat me like shit, so I say fuck em.

I bet they smell it on you.
When I quit smoking I realized just how much smoking made me stink, but I didn't smell it when I was smoking.

I smell like good tobacco at least. It doesn't bother me, part of the masculine appeal. They can't report that I smell like tobacco either. I mean they could, but what would that do? Lol
