Yeah this doctor is strange. Remember though, the VA is a federal organization and they follow federal laws. Her husband was my doctor before her and he was cool as hell about it. When I told him about my medical MJ use he immediatley documented it in my chart in case I ran into legal trouble I had verification of discussion. (<--his words) His wife freaked out over losing her job or some BS. She cut me off my op*ate meds for 2 days and demanded I see her. She then stated that I had two choices..sign the contract and get my meds refilled or not and go through a withdrawl. I mentioned the sickness and she said oh...I'll admit you but you will be sick, just monitored.lol So I told her I was signing it under duress and that my cannabis use would not stop. She never replied and it took her 5 years to piss me. She never said anything about the test and I know it was dirty as hell. I've medicated with cannabis every day for the last 9 years straight. not one day missed. not even during hospital stays. I wheeled my butt out to the parking lot and lit up. Took skill with a catheter bag and iv stand but I did it. I even had a nurse take me and my bed out to the smoking section under the impression I needed a cigarette (I'd quit smoking 2 years before) and asked her to leave me for a hour. I medicated there too.lol Where there's a will, there's a way. I always got comments when I returned about how much more relaxed and happier I was. I'm sure the docs and nurses smelled it on me. I didn't care. It helped.
