Should I mention smoking marijuana to my doctor?

I hafta go to the doctor soon,because im looking to get birth control. I know that when you get birth contorl,one of the things they ask you is if you smoke,because it guess that can affect which birth control they give you. I dont smoke cigarettes,but I do occasionally smoke pot.

Do I have to mention this ot them,or can I get by without telling them? And what can happen if I tell them?

Answer #1

theres no need to it doesnt effect the birth control even if you do say something it wont get you in trouble at all everything is confidential unless you give consent you dont need birth control, it has bad side effects I would try using mirena you should look into that its better than birth control

Answer #2

do tell them…the marijuana will affect the birth control and can make it less effective and if its less effective its not going to do you any good

Answer #3

you should tell your doctor because there if you take them without telling you might have bad things going on with your body later

Answer #4

I agree with katycat. im on bc, and it tells you smoking will increase the risk of heart disease. and why do you want to smoke in the first place? your just smoking your life away its stupid. also your birth control may not work, if you smoke.

Answer #5

it could be dangerous, if you dont mention it then I reccomend you quit so you dont experience side effects

Answer #6

Well “ty” is right, they cannot tell anyone if you do or don’t. Regardless of age, if it has to do with a medical condition then they can enlighten others with patient info, ie. diagnosises, past medications you’ve taken and such, but cant go randomly blurting out haha mrscobainexx’s smokes pot!!! Yeah that’s illegal, and I also would cause that may have an adverse affect on which kind of birth control they perscribe you.

Answer #7

Simply a Rose to brighten your day,         And maybe lessen the cares in your way;         And also, too, to help you to know,         That in knowing you, many others grow!       Tell your doctor because he/she can advise you if it would create any complications. Also, because he/she can advise you on the latest studies regarding marijuana.

Answer #8

NO! you could get in seriuos trouble!!! :[

Answer #9

Tell them. It’s called patient confidentiality, they cant tell anyone about it…

Answer #10

I don’t know… I think you could get in trouble…

Answer #11

Thats a tricky question your underaged right? so the doctor could inform your parents. I wouldn’t tell our docotor but I would stop smoking it or atleast use condoms all the time because im 90 percent sure the pill won’t be 99.9 perfect effective if your smoking pot.

Answer #12

Smoking anything will affect your health and especially birth control pills… causes blood clots etc…it’s important…If you tell them you smoke marij you risk trouble…
