cried when i read this. at last, someone talking sense. Watching my son thrive on cannabis oil we made (RSO) was miraculous, magical It gaves us hope when we had none. See this article about what we did in London Paper. I know we did the right thing for James, we broke the law, we don't regret it. We did our best. HIs quality of life on cannabis was spectacular. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01/17/grew-cannabis-illegally-son-hope/?msockid=0d6c0b14422a60993f2018c843e161ae
Thank you for sharing your story—it’s deeply moving, and I can only imagine the strength it took to do what you did for James. The love and dedication you poured into giving him the best possible quality of life shine through every word. Hope is everything, and sometimes the right thing isn’t the legal thing. I have so much respect for parents who fight for their children, even when the path is uncertain. I’ll absolutely read your article—James was lucky to have you in his corner.
Excellent article as usual Dr Caplan. Typical responses from some are " just as long as you're not smoking it." Yesterday I heard " You're vaping? That's no different from smoking . You should switch to edibles."
Excellent article! Patients aren’t sharing for many reasons including being ridiculed for thinking for themselves, making their health decisions & not regarding their Doc as the, “Almighty.” I see it often in my practise. Patients also don’t want their private business discussed by staff in the clinic. Again, Excellent article.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for sharing your perspective—it’s such an important point. I’d love to hear more about what you’ve observed in your practice. What do you think helps patients feel safer or more open in these situations?
OTC CBD hemp oil can cause false positive test for Marijuana for a short period of time after CBD tincture is injested. Likewise OTC delta 8 THC ticture at even a single dose may show up on a urine drug screen for up to 4 days.
There are so many confusing variables with urine drug testing for marijuana that one cannot trust a negative or a positive test.
yes! This is one of the most painful costs of social stigma; patients feel shame for being transparent with their provider about their choices, and the doctors are unfairly biased against it.

And in countries where cannabis is illegal there's a very good reason why a patient wouldn't mention its use to their doctor.
