It does in my state. Not to alarm you, but be prepared for a full urine screen analysis before being prescribed psychotropics. I found I can't smoke pot when I want and comply with my doctors' wishes. Another thing, some of the medications side-effects will be ameliorated by smoking which will increase the desire to do so, obviously.

I don't care about that....I mean most appointments I've gone to I have to pee in a cup to, but I thought that was more to test of diseases or something. Either way if the doctor decides because I smoke cannabis that they cannot prescribe anything then I understand...and I'd have to decide if it's worth quitting or whatever.

Though when I was out in a different state I got prescribed prozac(it didn't work, made things worse and so I threw it away) and I told that doctor that I drank regularly and smoke cannabis which didn't stop him from prescribing. But yeah thing is I quit drinking so I am also using the cannabis to help keep from falling back into drinking so much...which is more important to me then getting some pharmacutical for the anxiety especially if there are already things that help it.

I think the same way about lithium-orotate, the first drug that helped me against my moodfluctuation and let me function close to normal after more than 2 long years!
The doctors tryed all kind of medications with me, but nothing helped and I had huge side effects.
