So my doctors just asked for me to submit to a urine drug test and I'm kind of worried because they will find marijuana in my system.

BUT I am a medical marijuana patient with my state. So I use it legally. But still I'm really worried because what if they can deny me my insurance? They don't know because my health coverage would never cover medical marijuana

You could be upfront to the doctor that is asking for the urine test about you use of medical marijuana, and ask them why they are even wanting to test you in the first place.

Why is this drug test being done???? And what insurance do you have?- from what it looks like you will be fine. Unless the test is specifically from the insurance company but I have never heard of such a thing.

I heard of provigil. Forgot what it was for. What did a drug test have to do with getting the RX? Well either way I don't think insuance would drop you but its good it all worked out!

I'm very pro Medical Marijuana --but not for me. for some who subscribe to this group of Anxiety MAY find that in some selected individuals MMJ MAY be a contributing negative factor of anxiety as an calculative long tern effect.

also some Psych MEDS can negatively compete for the some of the same brain cell receptors to bind to... - some may say that that is not a good thing

as for me I stay clear of all Alcohol and all recreational drugs while on Psych Meds prescribed by my expensive MD ---

that said I still maintain I Pro MMJ.
