Should I talk to my doctor about my cannabis use?

from The Truth About the Plant · host Christina Dees, M.Sc. | Amanda Reiman, PhD

Many people use cannabis for medical reasons. Furthermore, cannabis poses less of a risk to health than alcohol. Even so, and even in legal states, people may experience stigma from health professionals for disclosing their cannabis use...especially if they belong to a group who already faces medical discrimination. At the same time, there are very good reasons for your health care provider to know that you consume cannabis. So, how do you balance the risks and benefits of disclosure? We address this topic in this week's episode of The Truth About the Plant!
