WTG! Doctors are some of the biggest drug pushers around.

In Washington State they want to get you hooked on pain meds as the money isn't in the meds themselves.

Think of it as buying a new car.

Sure they want to make a bit of profit there but the real $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is after the warranty is up and they got you hooked coming to the dealership with rates beyond ridiculous way more than private mechanic.

It's the follow up 5 minute visits where the docs make the $$$$$!!!

In this state if you on the drug every 3 months you have to go in for a "wellness check" if you on those types of meds.

It's taken me years to find doc who is willing to think out of the culture box they were placed in during med school.

It shocks doctors when I tell them I don't want your pain meds I grow my own cannabis for pain and use it in many different medical ways.

My doc I have now argued with me saying cannabis is bad bla bla bla.

Finally I said look you were told that in med school and we going around and around. How about if between now and my next visit you research cannabis on the web and then let me know if you change your mind.

I was shocked few weeks later to go to what they have called MY Chart an online medical record link you can make appointments, read tests, etc to read from my doc I'm suppose to consume cannabis every day as part of my staying well.

Now I didn't say a word next visit because here was a man who did his homework.

Didn't let his ego get in the way of his research process.

Didn't let his med school teaching destroy his will to learn.

Didn't let $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ get in the way of the truth.

I respect a man like that thus I have never said a word.

I've only met three docs in my life a chiropractor, this doc, and a GI doc who told me the truth about a medication he wouldn't even use.

Other then those three the rest were all drug pushers.
