It’s just straight up illegal for medical professionals to report drug use in Canada. The government doesn’t want people to die because they were afraid to go to the hospital

MyNamesTotallyRobert@lemmynsfw.com 3 weeks agoWow I would never admit “recreational” drug use of any kind to any medical professional. Many years ago I admitted to smoking marijuana to my doctor and it turned into a major catastrophe. They threatened to report me to law enforcement for using illegal drugs and kept extorting me with bogus bills for months afterwards. This was totally illegal, but “but he uses marijuana” used to be, and often still is, a trump card to get away with just about anything. I never trusted any medical professional again.

You’d think the government would want as many people as possible to die, considering how easy it is to get into MAIDS, and how hard it is to get actual healthcare instead.
Remember, almost every suicide was someone else’s choice, someone who knew what the consequences were, but went with it anyway.

That’s straight up illegal here in the US too. I don’t think OP was at a doctor lol

I admitted to my primary doctor that I used MDMA, acid, mushrooms, and ketamine within the past 3 months. He didn’t even bat an eye, he was concerned of my drinking habits instead.

Ugh, wish my doc had been concerned about my drinking when it was a problem. Nope. I went in with insomnia problems, and explicitly told him I also have a drinking problem, and he prescribed the max dose of extended release Ambien with a casual “oh don’t drink on this” as if I hadn’t just told him I had a problem. I used to drink every day, he thought I’d magically stop because he prescribed something for me to take every day? NOPE. Surprised I didn’t die from the alcohol + Ambien combo because I didn’t realize how bad it truly was to mix those.

I am pretty sure this is completely illegal
whostosay@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Nope. Always let your doctor know, medications your are taking could have extreme consequences when mixed with other drugs. They aren’t the police, and they’d be breaking the law themselves to report that shit. Unless it’s for a controlled substance, they have no duty or authorization to report that unless you explicitly give it to them. afaik, grain of salt and all that

Yeah, that shit doesn’t happen in Oakland, CA.
