GRRRRRRRRRR. . . . .. went to the ortho surg. this morning (730 doctor calls are not my favorite) and he says I am not a candidate for surgery because I smoke pot for pain or and because I have arthritis - the pot smoking tho was the big one. I asked if I quit for month (to get it all out of my systerm) if I could then have it. NOPE tho in the next breath he tells me he is all for the legalization of it for chronic pain patients. HYPOCRITICAL FUCKER
Take away my pain meds, fuck with everything else and then take points off when I resort to other means to survive?
Needless to say I came home and mad an appointment with another orthopedic surg. who has no affiliation with that hospital and dropped all my doctors from there

Where do you live? What was his reasoning behind your not being a candidate because of pot? I had surgery on my shoulder a few months ago, and I smoke cigs., and there was no problem. Personally, I consider ciggaretts worse than pot. The first Ortho I saw about my shoulder was such an ass, I refused to see him again. He had a sign on his wall that said something to this effect: :"Pain medication is a life ending pit of sorrow." AND "Obesity should be erradicated from the earth by any means possible". So needless to say I had a problem w/him b4 he even walked in the door. I asked for a new surgeon immediately. What an ass. Wishing you good luck in your search. If there is any chance you are in CA near Stockton and have Kaiser, I know a wonderful surgeon that had to do more to me than we expected, and even w/fibro, my recovery time was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -T

Nobody is on board with it even if you have a medical marijuana license. It is something that you have to keep to yourself.
