I’m getting really pissed that my parents think “my behaviors” (smoking weed) have led to my chronic health conditions. I smoke weed BECAUSE OF MY CHRONIC ILLNESSES. It’s the best anti-nausea med that doesn’t give me severe constipation. Just so pissed

Perhaps seek out other sources of ingesting weed - ones that are more medically recommended. Smoking absolutely CAN worsen chronic health conditions - a med student

I’m aware of the effects of weed and talk to my doctors about it. I don’t need the advice of a med student when I’m already working with multiple doctors. I was even told it can help

That’s wonderful, if you’ve found something that works for you! It can definitely be helpful for some, but harmful to others. I don’t know enough about you to say anything definitively, so I was just aiming to perhaps lessen the frustration you felt with your parents.

I just know that personally, I prefer when people take edibles, because weed smoke creates the opposite for me - it activates a lot of nausea - and can cause panic for me when I don’t have a way to get fresh air. But you’re right - I absolutely do not override your doctors! Wish you the best of luck finding treatment❤️

I’m trying to tell you that I don’t want advice from you or any med student on this app that thinks they need to tell me what I should do. Honestly it’s distasteful when med students do this. It just shows what kind of doctor you’ll become. And you are not a doctor, and you are definitely not mine. If I wanted advice I would have asked for it. I was solely trying to express frustration with my parents

I’m moving out so at this point I don’t care how they view me. I’m just hurt because now I know how they have been perceiving it
