    I would never tell my doctor. But perhaps that’s just Finland. We get a permanent mark in the record if you mention it, and especially if at some in your life you need to services of a psychologist, that’s gonna come back to haunt you.

      I don’t think it’s like that here. That’s fucked up though. Weed is legal here and mushrooms are almost legal it seems so it might not be as big a big deal.

        It’s a bad idea in the US as well. It will be on your medical record and if you ever need prescription opiates or benzos in the future you will get them refused for potential “drug seeking behavior”

        You should only disclose drug use to your doctor when it’s necessary, like if you are going under anesthesia. And if it’s not an emergency procedure you should just stay sober long enough beforehand that you won’t need to disclose it
