Literally every single person in rehab for actual serious drug addiction, lives on caffeine and nicotine. It’s all a massive double standard. The only difference is that, while medicating you, cannabis can also make you feel good (but usually not good and productive), and there’s this puritanical concept that this somehow makes it inherently bad and dangerous
Anyway, find a doctor that understands this. They exist.
Then go on and test positive for cannabis monthly, it’s quite freeing. As long as you don’t give them any reason to be concerned about your cannabis intake, then they likely won’t bother you about it much again. Maybe mention it every few months.
