Great find and topic to bring back up, rule. I think we all ‘want’ to be honest with our docs when we mess up but don’t because of the fear that the suboxone supply would be cut off and rather just take the risk.

I am not trying to promote the use or anything but in my active using days I rarely ever smoked but did once every month or so (like in the same situation as most of us who have no tolerance or have a built up amount of THC in their system). So I smoked and was randomly drug tested roughly 96 hours after smoking and nothing showed up. We’re all different but I think it is a myth that weed stays in your system for 4 weeks or whatever it unless you are a heavy smoker. I didn’t smoke very much but enough to the point that I wouldn’t get any higher. For all I know it was out of my system 48hrs after smoking. I certainly didn’t feel comfortable taking it then and wouldn’t to this day just because it is not worth it. I’m not sure if it matters but it was a home drug screening if that makes a difference.

No one likes lying but they do it in order to protect themselves. I think most of the doctor’s approaches are that they won’t kick you out after the first time but probably after the 2nd or 3rd time. If you fail a test that many times it’s clear you aren’t taking your recovery very seriously and suboxone probably isn’t the right choice of treatment for those people. Humans aren’t perfect and have flaws. I don’t think weed is a long term solution to us addicts and is simply just a substitute for your drug of choice, otherwise I don’t think it is very harmful in moderation and certainly has it perks.
