Really awful when someone making decision for your well being is condescending and unavailable. I'm glad cannabis is legal in CO and for the most part doctors have stopped asking patients if they use it and have stopped testing for it, at least that's what I'm hearing from others and it's been my experience as well.
Good luck to you Siwsan..You'd think medical professionals would show more respect for us old folks.
