A member asked:
If i live in a state where marijuana is legal can my doctor make me stop using marijuana before prescribing medication for adhd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Things to ponder: ADHD meds are often controlled substances that are monitored by the feds from creation to end user. Prescribing them puts the doc under scrutiny by the state & feds. Unless they can justify the use with testing/exam and records they can lose their license. They can decline to treat you if you don't follow their instructions.
