Stigma around cannabis smell discriminatory?

okay. Your mmar pinks are what set you aside from the average pot head. If you choose to hide the pinks then you won’t get the respect your looking for as a cannabis patient. IMO.

I didn't choose to 'hide' anything. I don't need to advertise my medical history and treatment in order get respect. Does a diabetic have to wear a T-shirt announcing it to the world so they're not treated like a junkie when they inject insulin?
Besides, there was no proof it was me and I wasn't given an opportunity to explained before being attacked. I sure as fuck don't need validation from an LP.

That shouldn't happen, with the number of medical cannabis users in this country for them to act so unprofessionally is disgusting.

Many hospital managers are good at dealing with this shit.
I kicked up a massive stink after my daughter was born, we ended up paying something like $200 for the whole thing including cesarian.

I tried to PM but I couldn't. My situation was really minor in comparison to yours. When my lung collapsed in October, I had surgery at the Royal Alexander hospital in Edmonton. The day after surgery the doctor and surgeon came in my room. The surgeon explained he noticed my lungs were darker than people usually my age. I said I smoked cigarettes for 7 years, he said that wasn't it. Asked if I smoke anything else. I said cannabis. The female pneumothorax doctor gave a look of disgust to me with eye contact. She didn't say anything but if looks could kill I'd be dead.

I should have told the surgeon it was from a few months of Aphria and Tweed

Shit no, we were in a private hospital, so it is normally about $4000.
I'd die at home before trying my luck with a government hospital here.

well I am unsure what rules are in other areas, but in our local hospitals you have to speak meek and mild. If you offend anyone with yelling and swearing they will have security haul your ass out the door right quick. The message they display about this is plastered everywhere, ad nausea. So here is how I handle it anywhere it happens. I lean in closer to the offending person and in a low voice so no one else can hear I say: "well you are ugly, at least I can wash off my offensive odor".
