While I do not consume any alcohol for personal reasons and because my medications interact poorly with it, I do socially smoke marijuana and occasionally use it for sleep as I have chronic neck pain from two herniated discs (C5-6, C6-7). I was a little offput by Debbie's insistence that she will not prescribe stimulant medication to patients who cannot pass a drug test for cannabis. I've been prescribed these medications for years without issues, and she seemed to be indifferent to alcohol use, which is significantly more dangerous in combination with stimulant medication and antidepressants, and has multiple studies suggesting it is harmful to people prescribed such. I am seeking treatment from a provider who can follow the same logic. My smoking a joint on the weekends has nothing to do with my ADHD treatment M-F!
