Answer 2

I'm with Chronic on this one...the doctor is there to make sure that you are healthy and not to enfore the law. Having worked in a doctors office before, there are many people that are addicted to drugs ( more severe than marajuana) who disclose this to the doctor prior to receiving any medication or treatments. Liek Chronic said the doctor will not call on every patient that they have to report to the police that they have been using drugs. It's more important that they make sure that you are healthy and will not have a drug interaction with anything that they prescribe to you.

Even if they are not looking for the pot in your system, yes they can still detect it...some types of pot have synthetics that will show up in the blood and urine stream....

I hope you are feeling better soon!

Yes they can. Are they going to? Not a chance in h**l. Would they care even if they found it? Most likely not. Doctors have bigger issues to deal with than some kid smoking pot. ER docs have patients coming in all the time that are high out of their minds on crack, heroin, OC, you name it. Its not their job to enforce the law, it is their job to make sure you aren't sick.
