Reply to comment by tele23O7 in Is getting a medical card worth the money? by crazycrimerate

And what's bad about that is you have the mindset that this is a treatment for a condition (as opposed to viewing it as a drug you like). It is much easier to minimize stuff like side effects or taking tolerance/mental health breaks because 'I need this' is different than 'I enjoy this'.

Don't get me wrong, I love drugs and support people's freedom to make choices around their use. I just wish people would find ways to get their care providers involved if using it for 'medical' reasons.

I will say that on the other side of it, healthcare can be a bit more open about how they (we) work with people who use substances.
