thujone said:GPs typically know jack shit about illicit drugs. tbh, if i had any issues that i thought were drug related i'd consult BL first.... so no, i wouldn't give my doc any fucking reason to think with bias and probably misdiagnose a problem that may be completely unrelated due to that bias

here in the uk we sometimes have to give permission for our employers to have access to our medical records. (hey, if you don't like it, you don't have to take the job, right? )
EDIT: if i thought it was relevant to a serious health problem then of course I would, but 99% of the time i definitely wouldn't.
Amen. I would never tell a doctor or GP unless it were a life/death situation.
In todays climate, its very unwise to reveal such information unless its absolutely necessary. Any information about prior drug use thats revealed will remain on file forever.
