I went to a pain management practice to get relief from my chronic pain. I was told by the doctor that I would be getting a urine test. I told him I was going to be honest and that he would find some THC in my urine I have smoked a couple of puffs of marijuana About a week before the test before the test was given to me. He said not to worry about at this time and then he would make a notation in the chart so it wouldn't be a problem and I'd be able to keep going. He gave me a prescription for pain pills even though we should not have because I told him about the THC in my urine I had a second visit and he gave me a prescription again for pain medication knowing from the first is that I told him I had THC in my system. Just before the third visit a couple of days prior to that the office call me rather national even told me not to come back because they found some THC in my urine and was not gonna see me again so i was left with no pain medication three days before my third visi
While it may have happened as you described - most people will not belive that you told a doctor you smoked a few puffs of weed and that he said he would make a note of it, and its "ok" for several reasons. One such a statement is as believeable as clamining you didn't inhale or THC in your system is secondary smoke. Smoking weed is typically lifestyle and that absent a college dorm party - a few puffs is lilkely code for " I smoke weed regularly" much like people always claims 2 beers is what they had in a DUI, because one wont be believed and 3 means step out of the car. That stated, depending on the length of time passing for the prescriptions, I suspect there may have some OTHER issues in the blood run, such as the amount of THC not being consistent with a single "puff" a week prior or some other drug use issues. Regardless, there isn'ta remedy here because if you should not have be given the pain meds - you were lucky you did and can't cry foul they don't continue what you shouldn't have gotten to start.
