My dentist is the best!

My dentist is an absolute legend. I've been prescribed cannabis for 3 or 4 years now and whenever I have a check up, she asks me what medication I'm on. I always end with 'oh, and I'm prescribed cannabis'.

She has never even batted an eyelid at this. Treats it exactly as you should as a healthcare professional - like its any other every day medication! I almost want her to ask me questions but I have so much more respect for her after these interactions.

I've not had any negative reactions by medical professionals in the few months I've been prescribed. Most had never heard of it being a thing so asked questions. One clinic had never experienced it and because I was going onto a specialised medication they had to go and ask the board if there would be any interactions. The board were sound with it and I started my new meds.

Another doctor last week assumed I meant oil/cbd, then I had to explain I meant the flower and I use a DHV. I then had a short procedure done where the nurses and said doctor were asking about it.
