Usually when I read medical records from our local medical providers, I get sarcasm and disdain from them regarding the fact that I am also seeing their patient and allow them to use medical marijuana with or without opiate medications. Sometimes they go all out full-force and tell the patient that it is illegal to do so or that they will die with these medications. It is NOT illegal and patients who do not have addictions do not use their medications improperly to risk overdosing. Today was an actual surprise when I read a record that told the patient to continue to see Dr. George “whose management is appreciated.” I hope they don’t get into trouble for writing that.
